- Changed 'transform' method to use ValueInfo throughout. This fixes a number of obscure bugs
- Changed the 'add' and 'sub' methods to default to "now" rather than null. This means null passes through rather than being interpreted as the current time, to be consistent with other date tools
- Also changed the 'add' and 'sub' methods so that they operate correctly with invalid date strings
- Added tests for the class; improves #66
- Modified TTRSS tests because the "iso8601" format string in ValueInfo is different from Date's older format

This method provides generalized, consistent type casting more versatile than PHP's basic type juggling while hiding the significant complexity in achieving this.
While this commit does not change any existing code to use the new method, the intent is for both API handlers and database drivers to use the same basic rules for type conversion while still allowing for differing failure modes.
