lib: add support for date:<expr>..! to mean date:<expr>..<expr>

It doesn't seem likely we can support simple date:<expr> expanding to
date:<expr>..<expr> any time soon. (This can be done with a future
version of Xapian, or with a custom query query parser.) In the mean
time, provide shorthand date:<expr>..! to mean the same. This is
useful, as the expansion takes place before interpetation, and we can
use, for example, date:yesterday..! to match from beginning of
yesterday to end of yesterday.

Idea from Mark Walters <markwalters1009@gmail.com>.

date:<expr>..! can be used as a shorthand for date:<expr>..<expr>. The
expansion takes place before interpretation, and thus, for example,
date:monday..! matches from the beginning of Monday until the end of
Monday. (Note that entering date:<expr> without "..", for example
date:yesterday, won't work, as it's not interpreted as a range
expression at all. Again, use date:yesterday..!)
Currently, we do 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. Examples in this man page use spaces

open ended ranges, but it does not work as expected either.
Entering date:expr without ".." (for example date:yesterday) won't work,
as it's not interpreted as a range expression at all. You can achieve
the expected result by duplicating the expr both sides of ".." (for
example date:yesterday..yesterday).
