Add JSR 310 Period and Duration Converters [SPR-13721]

[spring-projects-issues]

Phil Webb opened SPR-13721 and commented

Currently DateTimeConverters includes support for most javax.time types however it doesn't support javax.time.Period and javax.time.Duration. Both offer a parse static helper so it should be relatively easy to add them.

Actually, DateTimeConverters just does between-type conversions, not rendering to a String or parsing from a String. So I'd rather do introduce these as PeriodFormatter and DurationFormatter, automatically registered next to our existing InstantFormatter.
