Returns true if day is less than or equal to the number of days in month and year is no farther into the future than next year; else returns false.
Assumes Julian calendar prior to year 1582 and Gregorian calendar thereafter. Accounts for Julian calendar leap years before 1582 and Gregorian leap years after 1582.
Where the two calendars overlap (1582 to approximately 1923) dates are assumed to be Gregorian.

Check a pair of months or seasons to see if both are valid members of a month or season pair.
Month pairs are expected to be left to right, earliest to latest in time. Similarly, seasons are also left to right, earliest to latest in time. There is
an oddity with seasons. Winter is assigned a value of 1, spring 2, ..., fall and autumn 4. Because winter can follow fall/autumn at the end of a calender year, a special test
is made to see if |date=Fall-Winter yyyy (4-1) is the date.

Check date format to see that it is one of the formats approved by WP:DATESNO or WP:DATERANGE. Exception: only allowed range separator is endash.
Additionally, check the date to see that it is a real date: no 31 in 30-day months; no 29 February when not a leap year. Months, both long-form and three
character abbreviations, and seasons must be spelled correctly. Future years beyond next year are not allowed.
If the date fails the fomat tests, this function returns false and does not return values for anchor_year and COinS_date. When this happens, the date parameter is
used in the COinS metadata and the CITEREF identifier gets its year from the year parameter if present otherwise CITEREF does not get a date value.
Inputs:
date_string - date string from date-holding parameters (date, year, accessdate, embargo, archivedate, etc)
Returns:
false if date string is not a real date; else
true, anchor_year, COinS_date
anchor_year can be used in CITEREF anchors
COinS_date is date_string without anchor_year disambiguator if any

Cycle the date-holding parameters in passed table date_parameters_list through check_date() to check compliance with MOS:DATE. For all valid dates, check_date() returns
true. The |date= parameter test is unique, it is the only date holding parameter from which values for anchor_year (used in CITEREF identifiers) and COinS_date (used in
the COinS metadata) are derived. The |date= parameter is the only date-holding parameter that is allowed to contain the no-date keywords "n.d." or "nd" (without quotes).
Unlike most error messages created in this module, only one error message is created by this function. Because all of the date holding parameters are processed serially,
a single error message is created as the dates are tested.
