Rather than this for `/top`

We should show the actual dates instead, like Product Hunt does:

That way we could drop the calendar glyph, which never looked that good anyway, and it’s clearer what exactly you’re looking at when you select a time range on Top or in the User Directory.

(of course with the down arrow glyph to indicate drop-down-y-ness, not pictured in the above mocks)

@neil can you take this, since you’ll be touching the user directory soon, which has a very similar layout for time ranges?
