irb(main):002:0> require 'date'

```

* ruby version: trunk

## Result of reproduce process

```
irb(main):003:0> Date.new(2019, 5, 1).jisx0301
=> "H31.05.01"
```

## Expected result and the reason why you expect

```
irb(main):002:0> require 'date'
=> true
irb(main):003:0> Date.new(2019, 5, 1).jisx0301
=> "R01.05.01"
```

### reason

* new era (Reiwa?) starts from 2019/05/01
* refs: https://github.com/ruby/ruby/blob/trunk/ext/date/date_core.c#L7049
