[Bug 2097587] [NEW] Crontab man page says days are 0-31 and months are 0-12

[Alistair Cunningham]

Public bug reported:

If you run "man 5 crontab", line 70 says that days of the month are
specified as numbers in the range "0-31". This should presumably say
"1-31". Line 71 says that months can be specified as numbers in the
range "0-12". This should presumably say "1-12".
