[GNC] Feature request - prevent a transaction with todays date

[David Carlson]

When entering more than one transaction in a session,  new transactions
default to the same date last used, so the existing shortcuts metioned in a
previous comment often work.

If it happens that you are editing multiple historical transactions,  they
are likely close together as well.

If I had that sort of switch,  I would be forgetting to reset it when done.
