Description
Error:
RECV: {"method":"update","data":{"x:shiny.date":"900-02-09"}}
_send_error_response: time data '900-02-09' does not match format '%Y-%m-%d'
Ideally, it would be great to have BC dates as well (year<0).

Research direction
Start by tracing how ui.input_date() parses and formats the submitted date shown in the error, then reproduce the case with year 900 and a year above 9999. Done means supported date values no longer fail with the shown format error, with the intended scope for BC dates clarified before implementation.
