Add a free trial to a plan

Say "give every new customer on this plan 14 days free" and each sign-up starts a trial, with a reminder before the first charge.

For developers

A trial on an Offer starts every new Customer free for a set number of days. With a card up front, it turns into a paid Subscription on its own.
