Tomasz Kamiński 58a4a9518a Mismatch in return type of converting function is now hard error.
Change the implementation, in the way that mismatch in return
type of the from/to_sys/utc functions (not returning time_point,
or returning time_point with inappropriate clock) leads to
hard error.

Added appropariate fail test for to_sys function, including:
* returning an int
* returning time_point of wrong clock
* reutrning reference to time_point

This is actually several separate C++11/C++14 libraries:

  1. "date.h" is a header-only library which builds upon <chrono>. It adds some new duration types, and new time_point types. It also adds "field" types such as year_month_day which is a struct {year, month, day}. And it provides convenient means to convert between the "field" types and the time_point types.

  2. "tz.h" / "tz.cpp" are a timezone library built on top of the "date.h" library. This timezone library is a complete parser of the IANA timezone database. It provides for an easy way to access all of the data in this database, using the types from "date.h" and <chrono>. The IANA database also includes data on leap seconds, and this library provides utilities to compute with that information as well.

  3. "iso_week.h" is a header-only library built on top of the "date.h" library which implements the ISO week date calendar.

  4. "julian.h" is a header-only library built on top of the "date.h" library which implements a proleptic Julian calendar which is fully interoperable with everything above.

  5. "islamic.h" is a header-only library built on top of the "date.h" library which implements a proleptic Islamic calendar which is fully interoperable with everything above.

"date.h" and "tz.h" are now being proposed for standardization:
