Method to change the first day in the timeline view with a custom duration of a few days

[acerix]

Request for a method to change the first day in multi-day timeline view.

gotoDate achieves that when the day is not already visible, but when the day is already somewhere in the view, gotoDate does not change it to the first day. As a workaround, gotoDate can first be called with a date outside the view (eg. 1970-01-01) then back to the date which makes it the first day of the week.

Desired effect can be seen by increment the date in this demo.

Also could document how the first day is determined in timeline view with a custom duration which has a section on this page:

The same issues exists for incrementDate. This method should increment the start date of the view whether or not the view span is smaller than the increment. If you are on a 9 day view, increment date will not work to move the calendar forward less than 9 days.
