Bug report

Bug description:

In the calendar module, IllegalMonthError is not handled properly. For months greater than 12, an IndexError is raised instead.

formatmonthname do not raise IndexError for negative integer because list support negative integer indexing.

>>> import calendar

>>> calendar.month(2024, -1)

    I think it'd make sense to raise IllegalMonthError in both cases. Would you like to send a PR?

    @Zheaoli Also add the validation for arguments, right after get options. Because the same issue happening for cli.

        if options.month is not None and options.month not in range(1, 13):
            parser.error(IllegalMonthError(options.month).__str__())
            sys.exit(1)

    Yes, but @Zheaoli already did it.

    @Zheaoli For future reference, it's a good idea to let an issue author send a PR if asked, especially for first time contributors.
