When historical data output is saved as CSV file, the dates column is missing entirely, making the data hard to use #116

Here's what the saved file looks like right now:

And the raw CSV file:

As you can see, there's no dates column, which would make this data confusing to work with

We currently store the date information in the DataFrame's index (technically not a column). Maybe we shouldn't? Should we move the date information onto a column instead of the index? @Milind220

This index is also likely the cause of #114.

@lahdjirayhan I took a look at other air quality datasets, and they mostly do store date information in a column. I think it's a nice simple solution to fix this and #114 (if it is in fact the cause for that)

NOTE: Changing the dates information from the index to a column would also be regarded as a breaking change (I think). This is because the methods of querying the data would be different (columns vs index)
