Support %a %A %e %h %c %x %X in strptime (#1518) (#2179)
Miller's strftime delegates to the full-featured lestrrat-go/strftime
library, but strptime uses an in-tree fork of a small subset-only
package, so strftime output couldn't always be parsed back by
strptime with the same format string. This adds the format codes
needed to round-trip common formats like "%a %b %e %T %Y":

* %a / %A (weekday name) and %h (alias of %b): straightforward
  formatMap entries, same pattern as the existing %b/%B.
* %e (space-padded day of month): needed dedicated width-detection
  logic, since %e's own optional leading pad space is otherwise
  indistinguishable from a literal separator space when the code
  searches for the next literal text to bound a field -- this was
  the root cause of the round-trip failure in the linked issue.
* %c, %x, %X: shorthand aliases (expanding to %a %b %e %H:%M:%S %Y,
  %m/%d/%y, and %H:%M:%S respectively), same mechanism already used
  for %T/%D/%F/%R/%r.

Also documents the %D/%F/%r/%R/%T shorthands in the strptime table
in reference-dsl-time.md.in, which were already supported but
missing from the docs -- this was the exact confusion reported in
the discussion linked from #1518.

Round-trip tests added in pkg/bifs/datetime_test.go assert
strptime(strftime(t, fmt), fmt) == t across the newly-supported
formats, plus table-driven cases in
pkg/pbnjay-strptime/strptime_test.go covering %e's edge cases
(padded/unpadded single digit, double digit, adjacent to another
code with no separator, at end of string).
