Bugzilla 207345 zdump(8) manual page -c/-t options

Hi Paul,

Could you take a look at
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=207345 please.

It relates to the documentation of the -c and -t options.

My guess is this: in "-c 2018,2020", 2018 is translated to the seconds
equivalent of '2018-01-01 00:00:00" and likewise for 2020. And though
the seconds range may be treated as low-bound-exclusive plus
high-bound-inclusive, the user is easily confused, because the output
*looks like* low-bound-year-inclusive plus high-bound-year-inclusive.
I think some more words in the manual page about this would be
helpful.

Thanks,

Michael
