devel: news2wiki to recognize yyyy-mm-dd or UNRELEASED as release date

The yyyy-mm-dd (actually \d\d\d\d-\d\d-\d\d) for a bit more restrictive
(and self-documentative) than the \w\w\w\w-... that used to be there and
UNRELEASED so that developers can test the latest NEWS converted to mdwn
format before submitting NEWS patches.
