Agent filter expiry problem - Fix

[Ralph Fox]

AGENT FILTER EXPIRY PROBLEM

This year, all current versions of Agent will stop supporting
filters which expire after a number of days.
(Non-expiring filters will still be supported.)

Any Agent filters which are due to expire on or after 6 June 2017
will instead expire today, like there were zero days remaining.
(Only filters which are due to expire on or before 5 June 2017
will expire on the correct day.)

* Today is Tuesday 7 March 2017. Filters can be set to expire
up to 90 days from now, no more. Any filters which would
expire in 91 days or more will instead expire today.
* On Wed 8 March 2017, the maximum is 89 days.
* On Thu 9 March 2017, the maximum is 88 days.
... and so on.
* On Sun 4 June 2017, the maximum is 1 day.
* On Mon 5 June 2017, all expiring filters will expire the same day.
This goes whether or not "of inactivity" is check-marked.
