[patch] Add relative date info to timeline

[sebastian@…]

Currently when viewing the timeline the group headers only display a relative date info for "today" or "yesterday". The patch I've attached to this ticket also adds a relative date info in all other cases; it uses dateinfo() to create this info (see screenshot).

There may be a better solution (I'm not that familiar with Python) but this patch changes as few lines of code as possible.

I think datetime.replace is better than datetime.combine in this case. I've added a new patch that uses replace rather than combine.

The patch should be refreshed to take localization into account.

… unless an updated patch is coming soon ;-)

And also, this should be made smarter: when all relative dates end up being the same, this feature would be more annoying than useful (imagine seeing "Two months ago" for every day shown).
