Allow setting defaults for different temporal types

[drognisep]

Overview of the issue

There doesn't seem to be an option to set the model-wide default used for certain temporal types. It would be nice if, in the config somewhere, there was an option to set the default type used for TimeStamp, Time, and Date separately. It would be fine to reuse the existing dialog because I can locate things like Java 8 LocalDateTime, but it's a pain to go through each TimeStamp field in the model one at a time (there doesn't seem to be multiple select support) and change them all to ZonedDateTime.

Expected Outcome

Allow setting a new default type for temporal fields in JPA entities.
Allow "reverting" all temporal fields in the model to the new default as an easy way to apply a blanket policy.

Current Outcome

Currently, I have to go through each field one at a time that defaults to java.util.Date and change it to whatever type I wish.

Alternatively, I can regex replace things in the actual xml representation, which is a lot faster, but isn't exactly how I expect to use this tool.

I just realized that part of the proposed functionality is actually invalid. JPA validation fails when @Temporal is added to an entity field and the field type is not Date or Calendar.

So this would actually have to change it from a temporal type (with the @Temporal annotation) to a default type with a field type of whatever java.time.* type is requested (without the @Temporal annotation). I still think the existing dialog can be reused for this since the dropdown that defaults to "Temporal" can be changed to "Default", and LocalDateTime can still be located and selected.
