José Valim 187c96d574 Move away from rata die reference and use iso_days instead (#6328) ...

We chose to use the year zero in the astronomical year
numbering as a reference point, as it is also the reference
used by Calendar.ISO, the default calendar used by Elixir,

It is also the same epoch used by Erlang's :calendar module.
Note we chose to not call it gregorian epoch due to the confusion
between January 1 AC 1 and 0000-01-01. The latter actually maps
to January 1 BC 1.

We also moved away from Calendar.Julian, which could have been
based on Calendrical Calculations, and chose Calendar.Holocene,
which adds exactly 10,000 years to Calendar.ISO and as such has
a very straigh-forward implementation.
