I wrote a patch to realize this feature.
Implementation for setting the default value to current date may not be the best way.
Feedback is welcome.

Thanks for your patch. It's a usefull feature but this patch has the side effect that it makes the string "current_date" a valid value for date custom fields. I think we need a different approach.

I wrote a new patch that adds a "Today" option using a different implementation approach.
As noted in #note-5, storing a literal string such as current_date in the default_value column would be problematic. To avoid that, this patch stores the selection mode separately in format_store as default_value_mode, with fixed_date and current_date as its possible values.
With this approach, administrators can choose either a fixed date or Today as the default value for date custom fields without storing a special token in the default_value column.
