Changing the year of a publication date is not efficient (too many clicks)

[benoitchantre]

Describe the bug
The datepicker only allows us to browse month by month. This works in a standard workflow, but it is not practical when you need to change the value by 2-3 years or more. It happens sometimes when you need to reorganize the content. The Classic editor allows us to do that easily.

Example of use case : your website has a "Press review" page and you decide to reorganize these press reviews as individual posts in a press review category.

Current workaround: use the quick edit panel.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Open an existing post or page
2. Click on the publication date
3. Try to change the date 3 years ago
4. Count how many clicks in need

Expected behavior
Ability to enter the year manually for a quick change.

Tested in Gutenberg 3.8
