Structure.getDate

Sets the date pointed to by value corresponding to the date of the given field. Caller is responsible for making sure the field exists and has the correct type.

On success value will point to a newly-allocated copy of the date which should be freed with Date.free when no longer needed (note: this is inconsistent with e.g. Structure.getString which doesn't return a copy of the string).
