DurationController
Purpose
A controller that displays the distance in numbers between the specified time and the current time. Works for past dates. Similar to TimeDistance controller, but outputs fully qualified numbers for the duration rather than trying to construct a sentence.
Implemented using https://date-fns.org/v2.21.1/docs/formatDuration.
Fire and forget. The only configuration this controller takes is the timestamp, and whether to show seconds/minutes.

Side Effects
The controller will intelligently set a setTimeout according to the fastest unit of time shown. If minutes/seconds are hidden, then the controller will update less frequently.
All timeouts are cleaned up when the controller disconnects.
