unitconvert: round to nearest date when converting to yyyymmdd.
This resolves an issue where converting from a low-precision decimalyear
to yyyymmdd gave the wrong result, due to mjd_to_yyyymmdd() truncating
away the fractional time component.
This commit changes the behaviour of mjd_to_yyyymmdd() to round to the
nearest date, instead of truncating.
