add a script to merge records of multiple databases (#455)

* add a script to merge records of multiple databases

The timetagger-mergedatabases.py is intended to merge
TimeTagger record tables of multiple user databases
into one user database, replacing the existing records.
Extends the records by user information.

This can be used as a workaround to create a unified view
of the records of all or a group of users.

* copy settings

* improve records arguments handling

* fix handling

* cleanup

* pkg: add timetagger_multiuser_tweaks.py as script

* add replace parameter

... to be able to replace text in the descriptions during merging.

* Update setup.py

* Apply suggestions from code review
