[GNC] Bank reconciliation after messy migration

[David Carlson]

There isn't an easy way to unreconcile many transactions,   but because
reconciliation dates aren't very easy to see or care about once they get
old, many users will ignore starting dates and balances if they know that
there is a reason that they don't match the bank statement this month.

One point to keep in mind is that reconciliations are only concerning the
split lines involving that account,  so, if for example there are
transactions that involve both a bank account and a credit card account,
ignore the 'other' side during the reconciliation.  Those transactions may
have dates that don't match both sides.
