Add mute duration

[asmaloney]

This is kind of a companion proposal to #1078.

I often find myself wanting to mute an account for a day or two when they are "heavy-posting" about a topic.

The official Mastodon client lets you specify a duration with a drop down menu when muting an account (see screenshot in the issue above).

Could this capability be added to elk?

I agree that this is a useful feature in a situation like that without muting followee indefinitely.

Elk uses JavaScript library masto.js but it looks like masto.js doesn't have a mute duration parameter yet. So we need to wait for masto.js to implement this additional parameter first. I'll try to make a PR for this in masto.js repository later.
