Epic API missing `created_after` and `updated_after` filters

Problem to solve

Accessing recently created or modified data is an important access pattern, but is not easy using the Epics API.

Although is is possible to manually halt one sufficiently new data is found, pagination headers give no useful feedback about the amount of data a client needs to consume. As a consumer I have no idea if I'm going to need to retrieve 5 epics, or 5000 epics.

Proposal

Add created_after, created_before, updated_after and updated_before filters to the Epics API for consistency with the Issues API
