AD vs BC in Datepicker #6209

Bug description:

Datepicker doesn't seem to process AD vs BC in the date text input, nor in the popup, nor in the uibDateParser.parse function (probably the root cause). I realize this is not a common use case, but I'm hoping to use the "GG" part of the date format.

Unfortunately, JavaScript has quirks here that may be encoded in the spec itself - I found this article on a quick search. The workaround suggested here does not sound like it would be easily applicable in this library due to the flaw in the datepicker here using JavaScript Date objects as its model instead of a pure JS object, and its parsing to and from these date objects.

This is likely not to be fixed unfortunately.
