plistlib's date regex makes the month, day and time components optional, but _date_from_string stopped building the datetime arguments at the first missing component, so a partial date such as ``2024-06Z`` raised a confusing TypeError instead of producing a datetime. Default the omitted components to the start of the period.

Summary:
Fix
plistlib._date_from_stringraising a confusingTypeErrorwhen a<date>omits smaller units (e.g.2024-06Zor2024Z). The date regex makes month/day/time optional, but the argument list fordatetime.datetime()was truncated at the first missing component. Missing components now default to the start of the period.Add coverage for loading partial dates (year only, year-month, etc.).
