Allow selecting the date range from the chart

By dragging a region with the mouse

Great!

When zoomed in, it doesn't seem to always pick the dates you'd want. Eg to view the transactions on a single day, you'd expect that selecting a region that contains the dot will show the transactions on that day, but sometimes that day is excluded. See if you can reproduce, and maybe expand the selection in a smart way ?

Aah, indeed it was rounding down for the 'to' date, where it should been rounding up. Updated.

That's much better. One more thing that may not be your fault, but would improve the feature I think. Testing with
make ghci-web, :main -f examples/sample.journal:

• Click assets, select the two months enclosing the three central points.
  In the query field I see the span I selected, eg date:2008/4/30-2008/6/29.
  But the chart is shrunk to the points' span (6/1 to 6/3).
  It would be more intuitive if it showed the span that was selected.

I agree, but indeed pretty sure that's not directly related to this PR. Maybe let's create a separate issue for that?
