Feature Request: Support dates with negative years (i.e. BCE)

See original GitHub issue

I have tried to create DateTime objects in BCE, for example like this DateTime.parseISO('-7000-0-0') or DateTime.fromFormat('-7000', 'yyyyy'). However, they all have NaN` as year.

How can I create such dates?

Try: luxon.DateTime.fromObject({year:-1234, month:9, day:25}).toLocaleString({ ...luxon.DateTime.DATE_FULL, era: "short" }) -> “September 24, 1235 BC”

See “era” options at: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Intl/DateTimeFormat/DateTimeFormat

I don’t see a way to include year notation, ie BCE, AD when I invoke toLocaleString(). Does this exist?
