Rework -all_time logic

If -all_time is specified, scan the entirety of all logs, even
existing logs.  This matches user expectation better.  Previously,
-all_time had no impact on existing logs.

The first time Cert Spotter is run, do not scan any logs, unless
-all_time is specified.  This avoids a several hour wait the first
time Cert Spotter is run.  If the user is interested in knowing
about existing certificates, they can use the certspotter.com API
or crt.sh.  This is the same as existing behavior.

When a new log is added, scan it in its entirety even if -all_time is
not specified, so users are alerted to interesting certificates in the
new log.  Hopefully new logs will be small and this won't take too long!
Previously, new logs were not scanned in their entirety unless -all_time
was specified.

Scan for certificates from all time, not just those added since
the last run of Cert Spotter. Unless this option is specified,
no certificates are scanned the first time Cert Spotter is run.
