Added Duration::try_milliseconds()

  - Added a new Duration::try_milliseconds() function, to attempt to
    create a new milliseconds-based Duration, and return None if it
    fails, based on checking against MAX and MIN. Currently, failure can
    only happen for exactly one value, which is i64::MIN.

  - Updated Duration::milliseconds() to call try_milliseconds() and
    panic if None is returned. Although panicking in production code and
    especially library code is bad, this is in keeping with current
    Chrono behaviour. Note that this function is now no longer const.

  - Updated the Duration::milliseconds() documentation to make it clear
    that it now panics.

  - Added documentation to Duration::microseconds() and nanoseconds() to
    make it clear that they are infallible.

  - All tests now pass, including the one previously ignored.
