Bug #438 - Reports sorting by end_time, start_time, and entry_time are ordered incorrectly

- Fixed bug #438, correcting the sorting of the entry_time, start_time
  and end_time columns (thanks to Michelle Crane).
- Reordered ChangeLog so that bugs, features are in sequence.  Don't know
  why I did this.  Some inner compulsion.
- Deprecated silly start_time, end_time and entry_time columns, which are
  now (and were) superseded by start, end and entry columns with time formats.
- Config.cpp now detects use of these deprecated fields and complains to the
  show command.
- Date.cpp now uses the variable 'input' instead of 'mdy', which was confusing
  and implied that it contained a date without a time.
- Obsoleted and removed Date::toStringWithTime, which ignored requested formats.
- When checking for an epoch, Date::isEpoch just looked for strings of more
  than 8 digits.  The additional restriction of less than or equal to 10 digits
  was added.  This was breaking unit tests using the dateformat YMDHNS, which is
  reasonable.
- Removed the obsolete field format hooks format-entry_time, format-start_time
  and format-end_time
- Removed the obsolete field format hook unit tests hook.format-entry_time.t,
  hook.format-start_time.t and hook.format-end_time.t.
- Removed use of deprecated field in hook.format-countdown_compact.t.
- Added missing shortcut comparisons in Table::sort that was causing an
  unnecessary full parse of dates even if they were identical as strings.
- Coded entry_time as a synonym for entry.  Ditto for start_time and end_time.
- Marked the new synonyms as deprecated.
- Added bug.438.t unit test.
- Added deprecated fields to the NEWS file.

Newly deprecated features in task 1.9.3
- entry_time, start_time and end_time are now synonyms for the entry, start
and end fields. Recent enhancements to date formatting render these fields
obsolete. The 'task show' command warns of the use of these deprecated
fields. The synonyms will be removed in a future version of task.
