Further 'approxidate' improvements
The previous patch to improve approxidate got us to the point that a lot
of the remaining annoyances were due to the 'strict' date handling running
first, and deciding that it got a good enough date that the approximate
date routines were never even invoked.
For example, using a date string like
6AM, June 7, 2009
the strict date logic would be perfectly happy with the "June 7, 2009"
part, and ignore the 6AM part that it didn't understand - resulting in the
information getting dropped on the floor:
6AM, June 7, 2009 -> Sat Jun 6 00:00:00 2009
and the date being calculated as if it was midnight, and the '6AM' having
confused the date routines into thinking about '6 June' rather than 'June
7' at 6AM (ie notice how the _day_ was wrong due to this, not just the
time).
So this makes the strict date routines a bit stricter, and requires that
not just the date, but also the time, has actually been parsed. With that
fix, and trivial extension of the approxidate routines, git now properly
parses the date as
6AM, June 7, 2009 -> Sun Jun 7 06:00:00 2009
without dropping the fuzzy time ("6AM" or "noon" or any of the other
non-strict time formats) on the floor.
