DateConverter.toCalendar doesn't clear milliseconds field
---------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: PDFBOX-598
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-598
             Project: PDFBox
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Utilities
    Affects Versions: 0.8.0-incubator
            Reporter: Nick Burch
            Priority: Minor


I've just discovered that DateConverter.toCalendar(String date) doesn't clear 
the milliseconds field from the calendar entries it returns. This means that if 
you turn the calendar object into a String, the return isn't stable, so your 
unit tests break :(

It looks to me that as the pdf format doesn't store to that level of detail, it 
should always be zero'd out, rather than being left to hold the milliseconds of 
the time you make the call.

This snippet is a failing unit test that shows the issue:

    public void testDateConversion() throws Exception {
       Calendar c = DateConverter.toCalendar("D:20050526205258+01'00'");
       assertEquals(2005, c.get(Calendar.YEAR));
       assertEquals(05-1, c.get(Calendar.MONTH));
       assertEquals(26, c.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH));
       assertEquals(20, c.get(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY));
       assertEquals(52, c.get(Calendar.MINUTE));
       assertEquals(58, c.get(Calendar.SECOND));
       assertEquals(0, c.get(Calendar.MILLISECOND));
    }

Adding "retval.set(Calendar.MILLISECOND, 0)" to the bottom of the method ought 
to fix it I'd think.
