[PATCH] make quarter work as parameter for :step in clocktable

[PATCH] make quarter work as parameter for :step in clocktable

[Joost Helberg]

Hi,

many years ago a colleague and myself wrote a patch for quarters into
org-mode/clocktable for blocks, today I noticed that :step should allow
'quarter' as an argument too. Here's the tiny patch to allow that:

And almost a year later, I finally got to this todo item :)

This addition is reasonable, so I pushed it on main after resolving
conflicts, adding TINYCHANGE cookie, and providing a proper commit
message.

I also added etc/NEWS item and a test.
