Description:
This patch adds a new option to the config command.

Uses flag --expiry-date as a data-type to covert date-strings to
timestamps when reading from config files (GET).
This flag is ignored on write (SET) because the date-string is stored in
config without performing any normalization.

Creates a few test cases and documentation since its a new feature.

Motivation:
A parse_expiry_date() function already existed for api calls,
this patch simply allows the function to be used from the command line.

Signed-off-by: Haaris <h...@unimetic.com>

Documentation/SubmittingPatches contains the following:

"Also notice that a real name is used in the Signed-off-by: line. Please
don't hide your real name."

And there is the following example before that:

         Signed-off-by: Random J Developer <ran...@developer.example.org>

So it looks like "a real name" actually means "a real firstname and a
real surname".

It would be nice if your "Signed-off-by:" could match this format.

It might already match that format if Haaris lives in a society that only uses single names.

Still, such names are unusual enough that it's good to check that new contributors are following the guidelines properly.

                M.


Also if you have a "From:" line at the beginning of the patch, please
make sure that the name there is tha same as on the "Signed-off-by:".

Thanks for working on this,
Christian.
