With a budget entry starting:

~ Every 1000 years from 1 Sep 2011 to 30 May 2012

ledger gives "Error: Unexpected date period token '1000'". Reducing it to 100 years gets rid of the error.

Remove TOK_A_YEAR token
55f8b1a 
This fixes issue ledger#1626.

The tokenizer eagerly classifies 4-digit integers as TOK_A_YEAR
tokens.  In some contexts such as "every 1000 years", this causes
errors.

I think the tokenizer does not have enough information available to
distinguish between integers and years.

After this patch, the tokenizer will always classify integers as
TOK_INT tokens.  The "has 4 digits" heuristic to determine if an
integer is a year is moved to the place where it's actually
needed (and it can be slightly more generic there, too).
