* libmisc/strtoday.c: Add support for numerical dates, assuming

they are already specified in number of days since Epoch. Return
	-2 in case of errors to support the specification of -1.
	* src/usermod.c, src/useradd.c: Adapt to the new error value of
	strtoday().
	* src/chage.c:  Remove isnum(). Adapt to the new error value of
	strtoday(). Support for numerical dates is moved to strtoday().
