configurable time range

Hi,

bart-logger create records for jobs finished since the last time it was
executed, and uses a timestamp file to keep track of this.

If there is no timestamp file then log records are created starting one
week back, and a new timestamp file is created.

It would be useful with command line option to override this behavior
somehow. Some ideas:

• option to force bart to ignore the timestamp file.
  • The behavior I can get by manually deleting the state file
• option to specify how far back to start, instead of hard-coding one week.

or maybe even better:

• options to specify specific start and end times.

The main use case for this is to allow importing of historical data from
a cluster, but this would also be useful for testing.
