Orgmode mappings for increment/decrement date part under cursor are inverted

[Evan Rittenhouse]

Describe the bug

The docs in orgmode-mappings say that <C-a> increments the date part under cursor, while <C-x> decrements it. In reality, it's inverted for days/months.

Steps to reproduce

Create a sample TODO, for example:

* INCOMING some other thing                                              
  :DEADLINE: <2024-03-31 Sun> 

Press <C-a> on the year - it becomes 2025. Press <C-a> on the month - it becomes 02. Press <C-a> on the day - it becomes 30.

Expected behavior

<C-a> increments every part of the date under the cursor.

Instead of :DEADLINE: it should be DEADLINE:. That way it will get highlighted and work. It should work anyway so it is a bug, but for your case that is the issue.

[Kristijan Husak]

:DEADLINE: causes a syntax error with parser so it's not able to detect the date. if you use a name without a leading : it should work.
