The two places in cellvalueconversion.cxx using the null date were
introduced in commit a7e949673c
(gridfixes: #i117265# use a NumberFormatter for converting cell
values to text., 2012-09-14); they are used together, so that the
code in lcl_convertDateToDays uses the same epoch as defined in
the respective number formatter, and the obtained number value is
only ever used inside convertToString in a call to the formatter's
convertNumberToString. The old value was arbitrary; and the new
value has some optimizations in the code (see Date::DateToDays and
comphelper::date::convertDateToDaysNormalizing called from it).
