bypass `real` → `integer` conversion → `real` promotion in `dateUtils.dateOf`

The `dateUtils.dateOf` function takes one `tDateTime` value, a `real` value,
converts it to an `integer` using `trunc`, and then the value is automatically
promoted to a `real` value again (because of result data type `tDateTime`).

This is unnecessary (unless an error is the desired behavior).
You can use just `system.int` to obtain the integral (= date) part of `tDateTime`.
