Adding feature Truncate to DataFrame and Series

[VamsiTallam95]

Description

This PR closes #9629 by adding truncate feature to DataFrame and Series. Truncates a DataFrame or Series before and after some index value. If the index being truncated contains only datetime values, before and after may be specified as strings instead of Timestamps.

In addition to the great suggestions from @bdice , could we add truncate to the relevant rst's so they show up in the docs? Thanks again and great work :)
