Export parse_date_basic() to convert a date string to timestamp

Browse Source 
approxidate() is not appropriate for reading machine-written dates
because it guesses instead of erroring out on malformed dates.
parse_date() is less convenient since it returns its output as a
string.  So export the underlying function that writes a timestamp.

While at it, change the return value to match the usual convention:
return 0 for success and -1 for failure.
