Convert dates between Julian and Gregorian calendars Examples:

• {{#invoke:Calendar|Julian2Gregorian|1917-10-25}} → 1917-11-07
• {{#invoke:Calendar|Gregorian2Julian|1917-11-07}} → 1917-10-25
• {{#invoke:Calendar|Julian2Gregorian|1582-10-05}} → 1582-10-15
• {{#invoke:Calendar|Gregorian2Julian|1582-10-15}} → 1582-10-05
