Bugs in cftime

There are two bugs in the implementation of options %U and %W (week of
the year) in cftime and ascftime:
- In a year which starts on a Monday (wday=1), %U becomes 3 instead of 2
on the 2nd week, thus ends up having 53 weeks, with a partial 54th week
at the end. The same thing happens to %W in a year which starts on a Tuesday.
- The initial partial week of the year (3 days or less, if a year starts
on a Thursday for %U, Friday for %W) is always computed as week 52 of the
previous year, even though by cftime's own reckoning it may be week 53.
(Note: these formats are a rather new addition, and might not exist on
some systems. On the other hand, later systems may have fixed these bugs
already. Please do not flame me in either case).
