Two new multi-column balance report modes show ending balance per
period: `--cumulative`, starting from 0, and `--historical`, starting
from the historical starting balance.
The balance command's specification has been clarified and consolidated
in the Balance.hs haddock. Reports.hs has also had haddock updates. The
old AccountsReport type is now BalanceReport, still used by
single-column balance report. The new MultiBalanceReport type is used by
the multi-column reports.
Amounts and journal values are often rendered too verbosely in debug
output, obscuring what's important. Here we try adjusting the level
of detail in the Show instance based on the global debug level.
Needs more work.
At long last. The main change is a new rules file format that aims to
be more powerful and more intuitive than v1 (hledger 0.19.x and older).
Existing rules files will need to be adapted manually to the new format.
This refactoring fixes an O(n^2) slowdown in the balance command with
large numbers of accounts. It's now speedy, and the implementation is
clearer. To facilitate this, the Account type now represents a tree of
accounts which can easily be traversed up or down (and/or flattened
into a list).

- use new query system for command line too, filterspec is no more
- move unit tests near the code they test, run them in bottom up order, add more
- more precise Show instances, used for debugging not ui
