Change the behaviour of `-v' so that, e.g., stepping a month back
on March 31 won't take you to March 2 or 3 (now the result will
be the last day of February.)

In general, now stepping by months from the last days of the current
month A will take you to the very last day of the target month B if
B is shorter than A.

The previous version would just step to March 31 and rely on mktime(3)
to correct the date. Despite its simplicity, such way was counter-intuitive
to users and caused pain to shell script writers.

Give date(1) a much better SYNOPSIS section which is useful as more than
decoration. Further improvements are welcome, but at least this
is a separate of the various modes of operation date has, as well as
sectioning off the two deprecated options for settimeofday(tz) that
don't even apply to actual operation of date as such, anyway.
