Subject: Parse timesheet files

Expect a timesheet file as the last argument to the program. Parse the
contents into `TimeEntry` objects. `TimeEntry`ies will then be able to
be POSTed to Time Task to submit times.

The time entries input file is a YAML document in this format:

    - client: A client
      project: A project
      module: A module
      task: A task
      work_type: type
      date: 2017-03-06
      time: 7
      billable: true
      description:

It contains an array where each element is a time entry.

Had a lot of trouble parsing the date into a `time.Time`. Finally
realised that my first and biggest problem was somehow I was importing
`yaml.v1` instead of `yaml.v2`, and thus my `UnmarshalYAML` function was
never getting called.

Wanted a way to get the time as a string and parse it myself into a
time. At first tried using an `UnmarshalText` function:

		type Time time.Time

		func (t *Time) UnmarshalText(text []byte) error {
			parsed, err := time.Parse("2006-01-02", string(text))
			if err == nil {
				*t = Time(parsed)
			}

			return err
		}

But in order to do that I had to make a type alias to `time.Time`. Doing
so was not ideal, because then I'd have to convert my `Time` into a
`time.Time` any time I wanted to use it for real.

Ended up going with a suggestion from here:
https://mlafeldt.github.io/blog/decoding-yaml-in-go/

Creating an auxiliary struct in `UnmarshalYAML` to unmarshal the date
into a string and then parse it myself as a date. I don't really like it
because it's a lot of ceremony just to parse one type myself, but can't
come up with a better solution right now so there you have it.
