In this version of Octave, “warning on” really enables all warnings (while this
was not the case in Octave 6, suprisingly; I think this used to be different
with even older Octave releases).

Ubuntu 20.04 LTS has Octave 5.2.0, and we want Dynare 4.7 to work on the latest
Ubuntu LTS as of release time.

This is a partial revert of a02a4ce6, which
bumped the minimal requirement from 4.4 to 6.2.0.

Concatenation was failing if the empty object had no frequency set.

Closes #46

Closes: #47

The returned argument is the first input argument.

Conversion to yearly and bi-annual frequencies.

Returned year was wrong for yearly frequency.

The dates2S routine was plain wrong.

H (half year) is still allowed.

Bug introduced in 7bb6a68f when changing the implementation of the
@dates class.

Also:

 - added unit tests,
 - added conversion to bi annual dates.

For all frequencies, counts the number of subperiods since year 0.
