parseDate() fails if no day in format

Description
parseDate() fails for formats such as "MM yy" where no day is specified. This makes applications of the datepicker such as http://jsfiddle.net/timbuethe/PxGHV/ fail to parse the currently selected date correctly. That in turn always starts the picker at today's date rather than what was selected previously.
I suggest changing parseDate() to default the day to 1 in cases where the date format does not include a day rather, than than failing to parse, so that the datepicker can work for use cases such as this.

I think this is a different issue than #7759. That ticket wants to pick a day/month without any year, which is indeed nothing like a meaningful date.
This ticket seeks to allow picking of month/year and assume the first of the month for the day. That yields a valid date, where as the other case is not.

The datepicker isn't intended to be used like this.
Not an exact duplicate, but it's the same rationale.
