never fallback relative times to absolute

Previously, for dates older than 12 months we fell back to just giving the
absolute time.  This can be a bit jarring when reading a list of times.

Instead, let's switch to "Y years, M months" for five years, and then just
"Y years" after that.

No particular reason on the 5 year cutoff except that it seemed reasonable
to me.
