Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

#11418 added a bunch of custom date functions but there is no documentation on how to use them.

Describe the solution you'd like

We should add a user-tutorial page in https://superset.apache.org/ on how to use the new time picker. Explaining:

  1. The definition of Previous/Last periods
  2. Free text shortcuts, e.g. "now: last 7 days"
  3. Custom time functions
  4. Anchor for relative dates

While this isn't well-covered in the Superset docs, it is covered a bit in the Preset docs.

Also, while the time range selector covers most use cases pretty well, it's acknowledged that the UI needs a revamp. @kasiazjc and @lauderbaugh are looking into this and gathering data points, along with others.

Some of the nomenclature/tooltips in this UI have been updated a few times since this issue was created, which hopefully helps at least a little.

Given the above, @ktmud do you think this needs to remain open as an issue? I wonder if it'd be better suited as an Ideas discussion than an Issue (i.e. bug), but I'm curious your thoughts.

Closing this since it's not a bug, it's quite stale, and there are numerous ways to contribute or request changes on docs these days.
