Enhancement: increase granularity of the "keep within" retention policy
The `keep-within` option of the `forget` command now accepts time ranges with
an hourly granularity. For example, running `restic forget --keep-within 3d12h`
will keep all the snapshots made within three days and twelve hours from the
time of the latest snapshot.
