[PATCH 1/7] shortlog: accept `--date`-related options

From

<38b60641c0f09a4cc6f8a9a69faafe8e3bd7635f.1666637725.git.me@ttaylorr.com>

From: Jeff King <peff@peff.net>

Prepare for a future patch which will introduce arbitrary pretty formats via the `--group` argument.

To allow additional customizability (for example, to support something like `git shortlog -s --group='%aD' --date='format:%Y-%m' ...` (which groups commits by the datestring 'YYYY-mm' according to author date), we must store off the `--date` parsed from calling `parse_revision_opt()`.

Note that this also affects custom output `--format` strings in `git shortlog`. Though this is a behavior change, this is arguably fixing a long-standing bug (ie., that `--format` strings are not affected by `--date` specifiers as they should be).
