Use clearer relative dates

Summary

Right now relative dated within +/- one week use "last/next <day>" which is inherently
ambiguous in English. This patch changes it to use clearer terminology: dates three days
older or in the future use the normal absolute date style. Otherwise, it says "today",
"yesterday/tomorrow", or "two days ago/in two days".

Closes T12349

Not a fan of Mathematics there. "Five days ago" I first have to open my calendar and count what day that was.

I was on the fence about that too. We could move to absolute dates after three days, maybe.

Yeah i think yesterday and tomorrow is fine but everything beyond that becomes more annoying than helpful

So no "in two days"/"two days ago"? That's too confusing?

Don't use relative dates farther than three days back
