[GNC] Generating Yearly Figures for Accountant/Tax Return (UK)

[flywire]

QuickBooks uses a Profit and Loss report for this functionality and
transaction detail can be shown by running it as an Itemised Profit and
Loss report. The appropriate accounts still need to be selected to display
in the report though QuickBooks handles account changes better.

The functionality is similar to using the GnuCash Transaction Report option
sorting Show subtotals only (hide transaction data) which gives a really
crap report because the data is all displayed as account totals. The
half-baked PR https://github.com/Gnucash/gnucash/pull/1624 attempted to
address this but it has issues.

Regardless, a transaction report is not a profit and loss report. In
GnuCash while they look similar, they are about as different as Windows and
Linux.
