Diff to resolve issue

If you pass -S (--starttime) or -E (--endtime) to sacct while using the accounting_storage/filetxt pluging, the resulting output does not change.

I added in support for these 2 options into the plugin and attached a diff.

Thank you for this patch. Unfortunately we do not have plans to increase the functionality in this plugin.

If you want to use accounting in production environment then we would advise using the database plugin, which has more functionality than the text file plugin.
