Don't blank pad day of the month when formatting dates

We are currently using `%e` which adds a space before the result if the
digit is a single number. This leads to strings like `February  2, 2016`
which is undesireable. I've opted to replace with 0 padding instead of
removing the padding entirely, to preserve compatibility for those
relying on the fact that the width is constant, and to be consistent
with time formatting.

Fixes #25251.
