pgsql: Re-allow input of Julian dates prior to 0001-01-01 AD. - Mailing list pgsql-committers

Re-allow input of Julian dates prior to 0001-01-01 AD.

This was unintentionally broken in 8.4 while tightening up checking of
ordinary non-Julian date inputs to forbid references to "year zero".
Per bug #5672 from Benjamin Gigot.
