Add the ability to save replays into folders by date

This adds a new flag, '-mf' with a boolean argument
If this is set, replays are organized in folders by date.

With this, replays are saved like:
    $output_folder/2023-10-15/Replay_15-39-28.mp4
instead of all into the same folder.

To save a video in replay mode, you need to send signal SIGUSR1 to gpu screen recorder. You can do this by running `killall -SIGUSR1 gpu-screen-recorder`.\
To stop recording, send SIGINT to gpu screen recorder. You can do this by running `killall gpu-screen-recorder` or pressing `Ctrl-C` in the terminal that runs gpu screen recorder.\
The file path to the saved replay is output to stdout. All other output from GPU Screen Recorder is output to stderr.
