Fixed calendar conversion between Mayan and Gregorian calendar to adopt combined Gregorian/Julian calendar system used on new verisons of iOS. Previously Apple was using proleptic Gregorian calendar system - where calendar date going to the past before the adoption of this calendar on October 4th, 1582 were extrapolated. Now iOS devices use by default Julian calendar up to October 4th, 1582, next day starts Gregorian calendar with date October 15th, 1582 (instead of 5th - skips 10 days). Result: App shows Mayan calendar with long count 0.0.0.0.0, 4 Ajaw, 8 Kumk'u converting to September 6th, 3114 BC of Julian calendar system, while previously it was August 11th, 3114 BC. That's useful when studying history, because historical records dating before October 4th, 1582 use Julian date. On the other hand not all countries adopted Gregorian calendar on that date, some kept Julian for a few more centuries. I myself would prefer keeping proleptic Gregorian calendar and perhaps add Julian calendar as another option for conversion, but at the moment it was easier to adopt default Apple's calendar handling. Fixes for iOS 13: Fixed user interface layout on screens for iPhone X, iPhone 11 and new iPads. Preventing crash when trying to expand/collapse playback control in bottom bar.

1. iPad version updated for high resolution screen. 2. Bug fix - when calendar reached date Dec 31 99999 stepping to the next day caused crash because this is maximal date of iOS date picker control. Fix resolves this issue by leaving date picker set to this max date and allowing Maya Date to continue to Jan 1 100000 and beyond. This fix however does not guarantee that the world doesn't end on Dec 21 2012. If you want to avoid 2012 Apocalypse you have to press pyramid button and continue giving sacrifices to mayan gods.
