[GNC] Reconciliation Report -- Can't find transactions

[Christopher Lam]

The "Reconciliation Report" was modified to search via Reconciliation 
Date as per following bug. https://bugs.gnucash.org/show_bug.cgi?id=796614

I think the date filter is irrelevant in the reconciliation report.

Perhaps it should be removed altogether; and should by default show 
*all* unreconciled & cleared (i.e. exclude reconciled) transactions?

I also think it is a bug since the primary sort order was ‘date’ and there was an option to choose ‘reconciled date’ instead, but the general tab date range only operates on reconciled date.

It seems it is impossible to get a report (without resorting to a spreadsheet workflow) that shows me what I wanted to see. (yes, I can run a filter on the register and then run a register report - I’m talking about using *this* report)
