Hello, I'm attaching a patch that enhances user experience when adding
Gnus scores interactively based on date header. This patch does multiple
things:

1. `char-to-type' variable is renamed to `char-to-types' and we allow it
to be mapped to multiple types. This is useful because date header
supports all these types for scoring - '<, '>, 'r, 'after, 'before, 'at
but only the last three were previously offered to the user when using
interactive scoring.

2. `gnus-summary-score-entry' now provides sensible defaults for each
date scoring type - if we're scoring based on integer value ('<, '>) we
offer number of days between now and entry at point (revised version of
what was introduced in bug#61002) and if we're scoring based on string
value ('after, 'before, 'at, 'r) we provide valid date string.

3. If the user scores articles based on date strings ('before, 'after,
'at, 'r), `gnus-summary-score-entry' will no longer cast the type to the
integer type.

4. `gnus-score-date' catches 'r type as well.

I'm also Cc'ing Alex who was the original author of '< '> date scoring
types. Please let me know what you think.
