Current behavior:
If you select the year 0001 in a input[date] field, the model values updates to the value 1901.

Expected / new behavior:
The model value should be set to the correct year 0001.

Minimal reproduction of the problem with instructions:
See codepen testcase https://codepen.io/anon/pen/KRzwXX
Insert the date '0001-01-01' and you can see the wrong model value.

AngularJS version: 1.6.9 / 1.7.0-rc.0

Browser: [all]
Also happens if the browser doesn't support input[date] fields. If the text '0001-01-01' is inserted, the model values is set to '1901-01-01'

Interesting that nobody has noticed all these years 😁
This happens for all year values less than 100, because we call new Date(1, ...) and according to MDN:

Values from 0 to 99 map to the years 1900 to 1999.
[...]
In order to create dates between the years 0 and 99 the Date.prototype.setFullYear() method should be used.
