Add Duration#before and #after as aliases for #ago and #since

It's common in test cases at my job to have code like this:

    let(:today) { customer_start_date + 2.weeks }
    let(:earlier_date) { today - 5.days }

With this change, we can instead write

    let(:today) { 2.weeks.after(customer_start_date) }
    let(:earlier_date) { 5.days.before(today) }

Closes #27721
