 When using `date_format()` on a `datetime.date` object, I get the
 following error:
 {{{
 File "<project>/<app>/models.py" in __str__
   104.         return date_format(self.date, format="%A, %d.%m.%Y")

 File "<project>/env/lib/python3.4/site-packages/django/utils/formats.py"
 in date_format
   151.     return dateformat.format(value, get_format(format or
 'DATE_FORMAT', use_l10n=use_l10n))

 File "<project>/env/lib/python3.4/site-
 packages/django/utils/dateformat.py" in format
   367.     return df.format(format_string)

 File "<project>/env/lib/python3.4/site-
 packages/django/utils/dateformat.py" in format
   37.                 pieces.append(force_text(getattr(self, piece)()))

 File "<project>/env/lib/python3.4/site-
 packages/django/utils/dateformat.py" in A
   66.         if self.data.hour > 11:

 Exception Type: AttributeError at /
 Exception Value: 'datetime.date' object has no attribute 'hour'
 }}}

 It seems to expect a `datetime.datetime`object, while the docstring for
 `date_format()` explicitly mentions `datetime.date` as a valid input, too:
 ''"Formats a datetime.date or datetime.datetime object using a localizable
 format"''.

 '''How to reproduce:'''

 models.py:
 {{{
 from django.db import models
 from django.utils.formats import date_format

 class ArrivalDate(models.Model):
     date = models.DateField()

     def __str__(self):
         return date_format(self.date, format="%A, %d.%m.%Y")
 }}}

 template.html:
 {{{
 the date is {{ arrivaldate_instance }}
 }}}

 settings.py:
 {{{
 LANGUAGE_CODE = 'de-de'
 TIME_ZONE = 'UTC'
 USE_I18N = True
 USE_L10N = True
 USE_TZ = True
 }}}

 I'm running Django 1.9.2 on Python 3.4
