eraEpb2jd

[djm0, djm] = ERFA.epb2jd(epb)

Besselian Epoch to Julian Date.

Given:

   epb      double    Besselian Epoch (e.g. 1957.3)

Returned:

   djm0     double    MJD zero-point: always 2400000.5
   djm      double    Modified Julian Date

Note:

   The Julian Date is returned in two pieces, in the usual ERFA
   manner, which is designed to preserve time resolution.  The
   Julian Date is available as a single number by adding djm0 and
   djm.
