Add `when=<specs>` specification for control when a startup file is processed #12

Being able to include a startup script, say, only once a day could possibly be handy. For instance, file .Rprofile.d/when=daily/package=fortunes.R containing

print(fortunes::fortune())

would output a random "fortune" once every 24 hours (and only if package fortures is installed).
