*: Refer to `zodb help tidrange` about how history range should be specified

- add help tidrange topic.
- change all commands to refer to it.
- add TODO to parse tid from absolute and relative dates (e.g.
  1.month.ago, similarly to how git can do). Dateparser

	https://dateparser.readthedocs.io/

  will probably be of help here.

Many zodb commands can be invoked on specific range of database history and
accept <tidrange> parameter for that. The syntax for <tidrange> is
tidmin..tidmax
where tidmin and tidmax specify [tidmin, tidmax] range of transactions, ends
inclusive. Both tidmin and tidmax are optional and default to
tidmin: 0 (start of database history)
tidmax: +∞ (end of database history)
If a tid (tidmin or tidmax) is given, it has to be specified as follows:
- a 16-digit hex number specifying transaction ID, e.g. 0285cbac258bf266
TODO (recheck what git does and use dateparser):
- absolute timestamp,
- relative timestamp, e.g. yesterday, 1.week.ago
Example tid ranges:
.. whole database history
000000000000aaaa.. transactions starting from 000000000000aaaa till latest
..000000000000bbbb transactions starting from database beginning till 000000000000bbbb
000000000000aaaa..000000000000bbbb transactions starting from 000000000000aaaa till 000000000000bbbb
In commands <tidrange> is optional - if it is not given at all, it defaults to
0..+∞, i.e. to whole database history.
