Bug ID: 71429
Summary: when parsing dates, do not use the year 2000 to
represent the 20th century.

Currently, entering "20. century" will result in the timestamp
+00000002000-01-01T00:00:00Z with the precision set to "century"[1]. However,
with Ia1692d1241 applied, this will render as "19. century", since the 20.
century only started with the year 2001.
So, "20. century" should result in the timestamp +00000002001-01-01T00:00:00Z,
with precision "century" (and before=0 and after=1), to accurately represent
the century between the start of 2001 and the end of 2100.
The same applies for millennia. Note that decades as well as anything up from
precision = 10000 years is counted differently.
