Show timer end date and time when counting down to a specific date and time #122

When counting down to a specific date and time (for example, "until 12:30 PM" today), the date and time that we are counting down to (i.e., "until 12:30 PM") should be shown somewhere in the user interface.

One option would be to display it where we display how long ago the timer expired (i.e., below the time remaining). This would read nicely: for example, "5 minutes 30 secondsuntil 12:30 PM".

Another option would be to automatically set the timer title when counting down to a specific date and time so long as the user has not already set a custom title. This would prevent something like "New Year5 minutes 30 secondsuntil midnight" if, for example, the user was counting down to midnight and set the timer title to "New Year". That is, the information under the timer would be redundant.

Yet another option would be to display it under the time remaining (as in the first option), but only display it if no title is set.

And any variation of those options...
