Some polish, i guess

- Add a format string that uses text.Template.  It's complex AF but it
  works really nicely.
- Add a bunch of command line arguments to control the behaviour of the
  countdown:
    - Countdown duration
    - Output format
    - Output filename
    - Text to write when done
- Fix countdown not starting until ~2 seconds after start.
- Replace unhelpful start up text with something a bit more useful
  (parsed duration and output file name).
