This could definitely not be backpatched IMO, a quick check in v14 shows the
same behaviour.  The gregorian calendar goes from BC1 to AD1 and does not
define a year 0, to_date('0000','YYYY') correctly returns year 0001, handling
months/days in the same way at least makes it consistent (though I didn't scour
the archives to see if it was intentionally done like that).
