Bug 18607: Fix date calculations for monthly frequencies in Serials

Similarly to the solution of bug 18356, this patch fixes the date
calculation for monthly frequencies.

The calculation in GetFictiveIssueNumber was that similar that we could
merge the algorithm for months and years. Note that we add a wrapper
around Date::Calc::N_Delta_YMD in order to improve its results.

The calculation in _get_next_date_month is also very similar to the one
in _get_next_date_year. I do not merge them here, but this could still
be considered later on. At least consistency is achieved now between
both routines. The connection with firstacquidate has been cut thru
just like for year units.

Test plan:
[1] Without this patch, look at the prediction pattern for a
    subscription with first issue on Feb 21 and 5 per month. The first
    issues will be 21, 22, 23, 24, 25. Then jumping to 21, 23, 25, etc.
[2] Apply the patch. Look at the same prediction pattern. You will now
    see 6 day intervals and a new cycle starting on the 21st.
    So Feb 21, 27, Mar 5, 11, 17 and Mar 21, 27, etc.
[3] Edit an subscription. Try a few other monthly frequencies.
[4] The next patch adjusts related unit tests.
