Accept the dd-mmm-yyyy format in the absolute time syntax for history recovery start and end times

The PI Interface for RDBMS currently accepts the format dd-mmm-yy but not the format dd-mmm-yyyy for history recovery start and end times. The former format lacks the century, so the year is ambiguous. The latter format solves this problem and so...

Mention the PI ICU in the names of PI Generic Names DLL and PI Spt DLL in Programs And Features
