Description
The documentation for the z [date format](https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/templates/builtins/#date) states that its output ranges from "0 to 365".
This is actually incorrect and the range is 1-366 (January 1st is 1 and December 31st is 365 or 366 depending on whether it's a leap year or not).
While digging there, I also noticed that the implementations of the z and W formats seemed to just reimplement code that it already in Python's standard library so I added some commits to the pull request to simplify that a bit.
