date: Implement setting the date on Unix & Windows (#1798)

* date: implement set date for unix and windows

Parsing the date string is not fully implemented yet, as in it relies
on the internals of chrono - things like "Mon, 14 Aug 2006 02:34:56 -0600"
do not work, nor does "2006-08-14 02:34:56" (no TZ / local time). This
is no different to using the "--date" option however, and will get fixed
when `parse_date` is a bit smarter.

Only supports unix and Windows platforms for now.
