feat(pdf): default output date format to YYYY-MM-DD

User asked to flip the default from YYYYMMDD to YYYY-MM-DD.
ISO is the better default for an accountant CSV workflow:

- Lexicographic sort = chronological sort (no parsing needed).
- Every spreadsheet tool the user might import into recognises
  it as a real date with no ambiguity (US vs EU readers can't
  disagree on the order).
- Hyphens make the year/month/day boundaries scan-able by eye.

Concrete changes:

- New module constant ``DEFAULT_DATE_FORMAT = "%Y-%m-%d"``,
  used as the default for ``format_date()`` and the
  ``output_date_format`` keyword on
  ``scan_pdf_for_transactions``.
- Page's ``_DATE_FORMAT_CHOICES`` reordered so the ISO entry
  is first (index 0 = default Streamlit selection); YYYYMMDD
  drops to second.
- Custom-strftime input default also flips to ``%Y-%m-%d``.

Tests updated to reflect the new default (``test_dates_formatted_iso_by_default``,
``test_short_dates_get_year_from_period``,
``test_compact_format_round_trip``, plus a new
``test_default_is_iso`` for the format_date helper).
