add tiny regression test for not failing on calling df.replace() with Period column

working on this revealed other quirks of df.replace(): it now does not raise an exception anymore, and the dataframe returned by replace() has the right values. However, the dtype of a Period column changes to Object, which is surprising. 

I've added the observations to GH34871
