luci-app-nlbwmon: Fixed incorrect period parameter/display

Switch from using the unreliable string data constructor syntax to
a more explicit year / month / day variant and pass through the
period value as-is in order to ensure that the proper start date
is requested from the backend.

This should fix issues with prevent the display of older data
periods in the nlbwmon gui.
