Map redmine start and due date to native scheduled and due fields.

[jahagirdar]

I am currently doing this via a hook, but it might be useful for bugwarrior to do this natively.

task['due'] = task['redmineduedate']
task['scheduled'] = task['redminestartdate']

Per this comment, you should be able to implement this with without adding any feature to bugwarrior just using field templates.

The problem with field templates is,
The fields are not guaranteed to be in a redmine task, This results in

ERROR:bugwarrior.db:Unable to modify task: b"'None' is not a valid date in the 'Y-M-D' format."                                                                                                                              
 raceback (most recent call last):    

for the field template

 redmine.due_template= {{redmineduedate}}                                                                                                                                                                                     
 redmine.scheduled_template={{redminestartdate}}

Hmm, I'm surprised at that result because I thought that None values resulted in empty strings ("") and not "None".

I removed my hooks folder to avoid any type conversion from that end. and It still generates this Error.
