Add Spanish month names (Mexican-branch letters) to config.MONTHS and let
the month-first matcher accept a hyphen (not just a dot) before the year, so
"Mayo 18-1929"/"Junio 7-904" parse without manual overrides. Also bound
4-digit years to 1700-2100 so gross typos ("23-9003") stay in review instead
of producing a bogus year. Cuts unknown-date rate 9.2% -> 7.9%.

_preprocess now sets approx=True when a leading marker is stripped; add
_match_year_only so bare years (e.g. "nach 1900" -> "1900") resolve to
1900-01-01/YEAR before being upgraded to APPROX. Strengthen
test_parse_approx_marker_upgrades_precision and add
test_parse_leading_qualifier_is_approx (11 tests, all pass).
