Clarify filing year / fiscal year numbers

All of this is very confusing, because the IRS requires you use the
Form 990 for the year in which your fiscal year starts, but most
accountants tend to call the fiscal year by the year number of when
the fiscal year *ends*. Plus, ours ends so early in the next
calendar year, that it's extremely confusing.

Normalize at least the text on the transparency page to use a
hyphenated FY designation, and also add what IRS considers the filing
year to be.

<h1>Public Filings</h1>

<p>Like all USA 501(c)(3) non-profits, the Conservancy files an annual Form 990 and,
as a non-profit in the State of New York, files an annual CHAR500 with
New York State.  Below, Conservancy makes available these filings for
public inspection, in reverse chronological order:</p>

<ul>
<li>Filing Year 2022: Fiscal Year from 2022-03-01 through 2023-02-28<br/>
<p>The <a href="https://www.irs.gov/charities-non-profits/return-due-dates-for-exempt-organizations-annual-return">The
    2022 filing
    deadline for FY 2022-23 is 2023-07-15</a>.  The IRS typically grants an extension to
  2024-01-15, and we may ultimately seek the extension.</p>
