[PATCH 5/7] lib: add date range query support

[Jani Nikula]

Add a custom value range processor to enable date and time searches of
the form date:since..until, where "since" and "until" are expressions
understood by the previously added date/time parser, to restrict the
results to messages within a particular time range (based on the Date:
header).

If "since" or "until" describes date/time at an accuracy of days or
less, the values are rounded according to the accuracy, towards past
for "since" and towards future for "until". For example,
date:november..yesterday would match from the beginning of November
until the end of yesterday. Expressions such as date:today..today
means since the beginning of today until the end of today.

Open-ended ranges are supported (since Xapian 1.2.1), i.e. you can
specify date:..until or date:since.. to not limit the start or end
date, respectively.

CAVEATS:

Xapian does not support spaces in range expressions. You can replace
the spaces with '_', or (in most cases) '-', or (in some cases) leave
the spaces out altogether.

Entering date:expr without ".." (for example date:yesterday) will not
work as you might expect. You can achieve the expected result by
duplicating the expr both sides of ".." (for example
date:yesterday..yesterday).

Open-ended ranges won't work with pre-1.2.1 Xapian, but they don't
produce an error either.
