Checks if this date is before the specified date.
!(p)
This checks to see if this date represents a point on the
local time-line before the other date.
!(pre)
LocalDate a = LocalDate.of(2012, 6, 30);
LocalDate b = LocalDate.of(2012, 7, 1);
a.isBefore(b) == true

!(p)
This method only considers the position of the two dates on the local time-line.
It does not take into account the chronology, or calendar system.
This is different from the comparison _in {@link #compareTo(ChronoLocalDate)},
but is the same approach as {@link ChronoLocalDate#timeLineOrder()}.
@param other the other date to compare to, not null
@return true if this date is before the specified date
