Add minute() function

[mattbostock]

What did you do?

Tried to add an alert that triggers at a specified time, e.g.:

hour() % 8 == 0 and minute() > 30 and minute() < 40

The idea is to trigger an alert at the start of each on-call shift to test the escalation path, i.e. are the on-call people's phones working, do we have the correct phone numbers, is the rota configured correctly.

What did you expect to see?

The current UTC minutes returned.

What did you see instead? Under which circumstances?

Error executing query: parse error at char 8: unknown function with name "minutes"

@mattbostock Makes sense. Do you want to give this a try? It should be pretty straightforward. Here is the commit which introduced hour()/month()/etc. 4680daf
