From: Haaris <hsed@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
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.

Update:
Added suggestions, documentation, relative time test case and test
helper function to print out timestamps for comparison. Updated reflog.c
to avoid function duplication.
Sorry for duplicate messages, the other one didn't get threaded properly.
