Currency_convertCurrency

This script accepts the following arguments:

• to_currency - currency to convert into
• quantity - optional; default is 1, then returns exchange rate
• date - for when do we want exchange rate; defaults to today
• currency_exchange_type - to select cell; defaults to "sale"

The script looks up exchange rate and converts the quantity.

If it can't find a suitable rate or detects an inconsistency (like overlapping exchange lines) it logs a warning and returns 0.

This is a proposal for implementation of the method Currency.convertCurrency which is not implemented now but is a part of the API.
