Multics admin tools need to display dates with 4-digit years

[Gary Dixon]

Current code in edit_proj accepts input dates with 4-digit years, but then displays them as confirmation in a format with only last 2 digits. This is misleading at best, as shown in example below:

ec master edit_proj SysEng cutoff
Cutoff date: 03/03/17 0100.0 mst Fri
open
edit_proj: An unknown word was found in the time string. Cutoff date "open".
Cutoff date: 03/03/17 0100.0 mst Fri
12/31/2099 0100.0 mst
Changed cutoff_date from 03/03/17 0100.0 mst Fri to 12/31/99 0100.0 mst Thu.
daily_summary: cut 2, warned 0, total $41831.51
r 16:32 0.252 4

Many other admin programs may have similar display problems.
