[TW-1803] Recurance on last Friday before particular day of month

Include the ability to use eoww or eom style phrasing on recurrence. Allow for last working day of the month either on a particular dom or weekday before this day to be a recurring date.

Use case of this would be a time sheet is due the 15th of the month for payday. This payday occurs on a variable DOM but not necessarily the 15th as it will be the 13th if the 15th happens to be a Sunday this particular month.

This happens every month and it would be nice to use this in taskwarrior instead of keeping this in outlook. (And I mean the email I get when I forget to do my timesheet invariably when it happens to fall on the 13th or something)

I am not even sure how the syntax for this might work but recur on the 15th but have an argument that allows for eoww then I can have it show me the morning it is due or the evening before with the waiting field

It is almost custom enough that it might be nice to have conditional logic built into the taskrc file so that aliases can be made or something

{code}

1. pseudo-code IF TASK.DOM==15 { IF TASK.DOW==SAT { TASK.RECUR.DOM=TASK.DOM-1 } IF TASK.DOW==SUN { TASK.RECUR.DOM=TASK.DOM-2 } } {code}

or something

If this gets accepted it should also be added to the Recurrence RFC under the Exotic Dates Proposal. For example: workday of the 15th (meaning either the 15th or the last work-day before it if it's a weekend) or last workday of eom (meaning the work-day before the eom, perhaps this example should be specified as workday of (eom-1day)).

This should also be aware of changes due to the Work Week Support RFC.
