Date parsing and utilities for hledger.

For date and time values, we use the standard Day and UTCTime types.

A 'SmartDate' is a date which may be partially-specified or relative.
Eg 2008\/12\/31, but also 2008\/12, 12\/31, tomorrow, last week, next year.
We represent these as a triple of strings like (\"2008\",\"12\",\"\"),
(\"\",\"\",\"tomorrow\"), (\"\",\"last\",\"week\").

A 'DateSpan' is the span of time between two specific calendar dates, or
an open-ended span where one or both dates are unspecified. (A date span
with both ends unspecified matches all dates.)

An 'Interval' is ledger's \"reporting interval\" - weekly, monthly,
quarterly, etc.
