I want to introduce a simple syntax of the form 15d 14h 25m 4s, so users can specify a duration using a general syntax that explicitely defines what the value conveys.

Vieter takes a duration for multiple config variables, be it the maximum age of logs or builder images. Some of these variables take different units, yet they all know take a integer. This can be confusing. I want to introduce a simple syntax of the form `15d 14h 25m 4s`, so users can specify a duration using a general syntax that explicitely defines what the value conveys.
