The 'extractor.reddit.morecomments' option enables the use of
the '/api/morechildren' API endpoint (1) to load even more
comments than the usual submission-request provides.
Possible values are the booleans 'true' and 'false' (default).
Note: this feature comes at the cost of 1 extra API call towards
the rate limit for every 100 extra comments.

- also made the limit for retrieved comments customizable via
the 'extractor.reddit.comments' config value
- default is 500; 0 ignores comments completely
- Added the 'extractor.reddit.date-min' and '….date-max'
config options. These values should be UTC timestamps.
- All submissions not posted in date-min <= T <= date-max
will be ignored.
- Fixed the limit parameter for submission comments by setting
it to its apparent max value (500).
reddit extractors now recursively visit other submissions/posts
linked to in the initial set of submissions.
This behaviour can be configured via the 'extractor.reddit.recursion'
key in the configuration file or by `-o recursion=<value>`.
Example:
{"extractor": {
"reddit": {
"recursion": <value>
}}}
Possible values:
* -1 - infinite recursion (don't do this)
* 0 - recursion is disabled (default)
* 1 and higher - maximum recursion level
