parseDateString

Parses a date string and normalizes the separator to a slash (/).

Used to ensure compatibility with Safari, which does not support date formats containing "-" or ".".

Handles YYYY-MM-DD, YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS, YYYY.MM.DD, and YYYY.MM.DD HH:MM:SS formats. All other formats are returned as-is.
