Add authored date to commit properties

Description

GitHub allows to see when the commit has been authored, in addition of the commit time. It's useful to understand the chronology of a code, by opposition of the chronology of its integration in the master branch.

More often than not, I go to GitHub to check this information (where I'm frustrated with "23 days ago" who asks to perform date calculation or "one year ago" with a wonderful preision) or uses manually git log.

It would be more convenient to get this info on Diffusion.

UI rendering could be like the commit date (phui-status-item-note), and only if the authored date and commit date diverge.

I've marked D14995 as fixing this, but only commits parsed after the upgrade will have author dates shown.

After upgrading, you can manually reparse a repository with bin/repository reparse --message --all rX to backpopulate dates if you want them to be available historically.
