Launch history recovery data transfers in steps

When we want to backfill all data from a PI Server into CONNECT Data Services, this could be long and painful. A single data transfer to perform such for a few years may take weeks. It would be good to have the ability to specify an "endtime" along side the "starttime" of the history recovery in order to offer more control over this backfilling effort. This would mean that it could run a history recovery job for a year in the past during the night and then exit so it does not have any impact on the PI Server during the day. And so on until backfilling is complete for then run the data transfer with a "current" or "*" endtime.
