dojo.date.stamp.fromISOString fails for "0001-01T00:00:00"

[erin.stanfill]

dojo.date.stamp.fromISOString("0001-01-01T00:00:00") returns a data object with the year set to 1901 instead of 0001. My application is communicating with a server written in .net and this is the string representation of DateTime.MinValue in .net.

The limitation is noted in the inline documentation -- see summary for fromISOString.

This was discovered a while back (see r12561) There's a commented out line in stamp.js that will solve the problem. Look around line 64:

		result.setFullYear(match[0]||1970); // for year < 100

Problem is, this impacts performance. We were trying to keep this method very fast and didn't have a real use case for why someone would need support for "year 1". It sounds like we'll have to consider. There's the workaround, in the meantime.

seems like we could put this in a conditional and not pay much penalty for the common case, just add a bit more bloat to the method.

(In [20417]) Add branch for year < 100, apparently used by .net. Fixes #9281
