Added the ability to limit results by date range (Fixes issue 1).

This can now be done by supplying one (or both) of the "--since" and
"--until" parameters to the gitinspector executable. These parameters
work in the same manner as they do in git and accept the same values.
Statistics will only be generated from data between the given interval.
