The ISO date formatter that formats or parses a date without an
offset, such as '20111203'.
!(p)
This returns an immutable formatter capable of formatting and parsing
the ISO-8601 basic local date format.
The format consists of:
!(ul)
!(li)Four digits for the {@link ChronoField#YEAR year}.
Only years _in the range 0000 to 9999 are supported.
!(li)Two digits for the {@link ChronoField#MONTH_OF_YEAR month-of-year}.
This is pre-padded by zero to ensure two digits.
!(li)Two digits for the {@link ChronoField#DAY_OF_MONTH day-of-month}.
This is pre-padded by zero to ensure two digits.
!(li)If the offset is not available to format or parse then the format is complete.
!(li)The {@link ZoneOffset#getId() offset ID} without colons. If the offset has
seconds then they will be handled even though this is not part of the ISO-8601 standard.
The offset parsing is lenient, which allows the minutes and seconds to be optional.
Parsing is case insensitive.
</ul>
!(p)
As this formatter has an optional element, it may be necessary to parse using
{@link DateTimeFormatter#parseBest}.
!(p)
The returned formatter has a chronology of ISO set to ensure dates _in
other calendar systems are correctly converted.
It has no override zone and uses the {@link ResolverStyle#STRICT STRICT} resolver style.
