#18698 add `DurationOption` type for duration-type config options Issue created by tdyas There are several Pants options which take an integer value (of varying time units) in order to configure duration-related configuration like timeout duration. Some of the options use seconds, others use milliseconds. In some cases, the time unit is encoded into the option name (

-millis

suffix). To reduce user confusion, we should add a

DurationOption

type for these options which could take human-readable time syntax, for example

2mins30secs

or

1234ms

and just convert to a single type internally. pantsbuild/pants
