As a user I want to be able to select a date period "Quarter" #20418

Summary

refs https://github.com/matomo-org/matomo/issues/2012

Businesses often run on quarterly schedules, goals, reports, etc. Also historical trends are often much better to see on a "per quarter" level rather than on a monthly level.

It would be great if I could also select a quarter, not just year, month, week, day.

It's possible to workaround by selecting a date range. However, then I won't be seeing the historical trend in evolution graphs and won't be able to see how we compare to previous quarters.

fyi there was some work done in https://github.com/matomo-org/matomo/pull/11837 to support custom periods. This would work by creating a PeriodFactory component see https://github.com/matomo-org/matomo/pull/11837/files#diff-3f15e6e8235bb796794c812a3c85b929cb82ae02f1dfbcd6e74e105d1fb31a6bR99 . It's maybe not always used super consistently. Not sure how many problems there would be implementing it.
