Add a thicken_join #63

Idea by @sharlagelfand on twitter a while ago. Join two data frames on there thickened datetime columns. A wrapper over thicken and the dplyr join family.

Made some sketches for this function and I am afraid it is not worthwhile to implement. You get a huge number of arguments, because you basically combine the args of thicken and full *_join stack from dplyr. Therefore, it is better to leave it to the user to combine the two. Besides a pain to create this wouldn't be nicer to use then the two functions separately.
