handle wimba conference date parsing in ruby18/ruby19.

fixes CNVS-3556

wimba passes dates as MM/DD/YYYY, but ruby 1.9 expects date
strings given to `parse` to be in DD/MM/YYYY format. this
commit specifies a date format to avoid this issue and
remain compatible with both 1.8 and 1.9 servers.

test plan:
  * create a wimba conference;
  * visit its archive;
  * verify that canvas redirects to wimba and does not
    throw a 500 error.
