[GNC] Removing old transactions

[Stan Brown (using GC 4.14)]

For what it's worth, I would love to see a global filtering option,
possibly in the preferences under Register Defaults. Then I could set
the global filter to hide, say, everything older than 2024, and it would
be done. That leaves me with the option to remove the filter on an
individual account when I need to look at something older, or of course
I could just run a transaction report.

It's too tedious set the same filter on a couple of hundred individual
accounts.
