currently GST_TAG_DATE specifies the date in julian calendar days, which just
isn't a very good idea, because it's very easy to use wrongly: as it's just a
normal int, app and plugin writers tend to just read/store the year there
instead of a date in julian calendar days (see bug #170306 for example).

We might want something like GST_TYPE_DATE that wraps GDate instead.
