Added nav date helper for navigating by date

[stephenwf]

This will produce an object that can be used to create a tree for navigating by decade, year, month or day. It will also optionally choose the best one (based on the first divergence).

Parsing the Cookbook example it can produce the following navigations:

The tree structure includes some basic information for rendering:

type T = {
  id: string;
  type: 'day';
  count: number;
  label: InternationalString;
}

And then also numeric representations if you want to build your own labels (e.g. year, day, month numbers)

The final resource includes:

interface DateNavigationResource {
  id: string;
  type: 'Manifest' | 'Canvas';
  label: InternationalString;
  navDate: string;
}
