Function newYear

Low-level pure functions for calendar conversion. Most users should prefer the ChineseDate value object API. These functions are useful when you need fine-grained control or want to build custom logic on top of the core algorithms.

newYear(config: CalendarConfig, gyear: number): number
Get Chinese New Year (春节) JDE for a Gregorian year

Computes the JDE of the first day of the lunar year (正月初一). The algorithm determines if the preceding year has a leap month (闰岁) and adjusts the new year date accordingly.

Results are cached for performance.
Parameters
- config: CalendarConfig
  Calendar configuration
- gyear: number
  Gregorian year
Returns number
JDE of Chinese New Year
Example
```
const jde = newYear(CHINESE_CONFIG, 2024)
// Convert to Gregorian date to get the calendar date
const gc = new julian.CalendarGregorian().fromJDE(jde + 0.5)
// gc.year=2024, gc.month=2, gc.day=10
```
