 * Check the dates via js whenever the post publishing form `#post` is
 submitted. If the dates are invalid, prevent publish, hide the ajax
 loaded, remover the disabled state from the publish button and slide down
 the `#timestampdiv` revealing the date error (highlited in red)
 * Check the dates with php's native `chekdate()` function before before
 saving a post and return a `WP_Error` if the date is wrong

 Tested the patch with posts, pages and quick edit and it all works as
 expected.

 I tested with this plugin active, but it was hard to tell wether things
 we're behaving properly or not. Partially because I have no knowledge of
 how this calendar work or of arabic (which the plugin's test is in) and
 also because the plugin spits out a bunch of php notices and warnings.
 Nonetheless, I seemed to be able to save posts properly with the plugin
 active.
