CLI: take input date format from configuration file, do not accept time
Before this patch the input date parsing accepts three formats:
yyyy/mm/dd, mm/dd/yyyy, yyyy-mm-dd. They are tried in sequence. It also
accepts an additional time (hh:mm), or a time without a date.
There are several issues with this:
- it is not documented
- the date format dd/mm/yyyy is not accepted
- print_date() and filter option settings (in parse_args()) can only
handle midnight times (which are the result of a date without time)
- it is highly uncertain what happens if a time (without a date) is
given; at least the -d option treats a time without colon (1215 for
12:15) as a number
It seems that acceptance of time input is a by-product and not needed.
For these reasons the input date parsing has been changed:
- the format is taken from the configuration file (as is the case for
the output date format)
- only a date, and no time, is accepted
Because the input date format is used during parsing of the command
line, the configuration file must be loaded first, i.e. the options -D
or -C must be parsed before the remaining ones. Loading the
configuration file may result in errors (e.g. caused by changes between
versions). For this reason config_load() has been made more tolerant and
issues warnings instead of exiting.
A followup patch will introduce two options to allow the configuration
file settings to be overridden for input and output date formats.
