This commit adds comprehensive numpydoc-style docstrings to the quantlib/time/date.pyx and quantlib/time/calendar.pyx files.

The following classes and their methods have been documented:
- `Period`
- `Date`
- `Calendar`

Additionally, all module-level functions in `quantlib/time/date.pyx` have been documented. The docstrings now use fully qualified type hints to support documentation generation.
