Allow dates before 1970; document escaping issue in dates; avoid unnecessary System.Xml dependency

[GoogleCodeExporter]

1. Dates before 1970 are negative, but valid; allow them.

2. In a regular expression, "\/" is a synonym for "/".  Jayrock actually can't 
tell the difference between "\/Date()\/" and "/Date()/".  Given how Jayrock is 
structured that's probably OK, but this patch adds a comment to that effect and 
removes the inoperative backslashes from the regex.  Fixing this issue would 
require parser changes to leave markers in the Token when slashes are escaped.

3. As discussed in email, the dependency on System.Xml is mostly avoidable in 
Jayrock.Json, with one exception: DateTime parsing.  From my reading of the 
docs, DateTime.Parse() should handle the cases required.
