Description
Many of the date range labels are quite confusing and need to be improved. These are my recommendations based on what the 'qill' shows when I select them. Please verify that I'm understanding what the query is actually doing for each of these.
1. Greater Year, Quarter, Month, Week, Day => "Current Year to-date", "Current Quarter to-date", etc. (I'm not sure "Current Day to-date" makes any sense - probably should get rid of that one.
2. Earlier Year, Quarter, Month, Week, Day => "To End of Prior Year", "To End of Prior Quarter" ....
3. Ending Year, Quarter, Month .... => "From 12 Months Ago", From 3 Months Ago" ...
4. Previous Before Year, Previous Before Quarter ... => I can't think of a good way to explain this. Unless we can come up with something, should we just get rid of these since I doubt folks will know what this means.

As per Michael McAndrew's presentation in London, we should consider rename the 'Greater X' report time-spans to 'Greater Y Zs' ('Greater Year' to 'Last 12 Months', 'Greater Week' to 'Last 7 Days', etc.).
(Do check with Dave Greenberg before fixing this; I think we have had this conversation previously, and I'm not sure why we ended up with 'Greater X' names - might've been a cause for this.)
