fix(timepicker): move render logic to formatter

- Moves render logic converting model values into date or null object into a formatter, which allows the render function to more correctly render using the viewValue

- remove parentheses as per CR

Relates to angular-ui#2069

Fixes angular-ui#3160
Closes angular-ui#3427
