the current lowercase "yy" also accepts 4-digits, which fails if the date has no separators and other not-strict length tokens in it.
eg. the date "22031609025910" fails to parse with "yyMMddHHmmssuu" -> reason: "unit out of range", explanation: "you specified 31 (of type number) as a month, which is invalid"
This commit adds a new token "YY" (in addition to the lowercase "yy") which strictly limits the parser to 2 digit years. Also adds a test.
Request for Feedback: also add uppercase variants for the other token settings, so that it is more coherent?
