Jeff Epler 4715875cc4 Fix board dates to always be of the form YYYY-MM-DD
.. leading zeros are required for `frontmatter` to treat them as dates
rather than strings, apparently per the YAML specification.

This was done by script:
```py
import re
import datetime
import pathlib
import sys

import frontmatter

rx = re.compile(r'^(\s*)date_added:.*$', re.M)

for path_str in sys.argv[1:]:
    print(path_str)
    path = pathlib.Path(path_str)

    post = frontmatter.load(path)
    date_added = post.get("date_added", "")

    if isinstance(date_added, datetime.date):
        continue

    if isinstance(date_added, str):
        try:
            date_added = datetime.datetime.strptime(date_added, "%Y-%m-%d")
        except ValueError as exc:
            print(f"Failed to parse date {date_added} in {path_str}: {exc}")
            continue

    date_added = date_added.date()
    content = path.read_text("utf-8")
    new_content = rx.sub(lambda m: f"{m.group(1)}date_added: {date_added}", content)
    assert content != new_content

    path.write_text(new_content, "utf-8")
```

Feather-Compatible
Battery Charging
STEMMA QT/QWIIC
Breadboard-Friendly

The Evo M51 is an FPGA-enhanced Feather compatible compute module from Alorium Technology that features a 32-bit SAMD51 microcontroller along with an Intel MAX 10 FPGA.

Designed for use as an embeddable system-on-module, all of the standard Feather I/O are also routed to castellated vias along the edge of the board. There are 34 additional castellated digital I/O connected to the FPGA and accessible via the SAMD51.

Most digital I/O connections are routed through the FPGA to and from the primary and castellated I/O. This provides the opportunity for developers to immediately capture inputs or drive outputs from the FPGA without requiring direct interaction with the SAMD controller.

Evo M51 will support Alorium Technology-supplied pre-built FPGA images that target specific application use cases. In addition, designers will have the option to develop their own custom logic blocks and integrate them into the top-level MAX 10 FPGA design.

Evo was specifically designed to support running CircuitPython. It is also programmable with Arduino just like many other boards based upon the SAMD51.
