Add tests for duration multiplication and division
When multiplying or dividing a duration by a scalar, it's tempting to operate directly on the duration's value in seconds and recompute the parts from the result. However this loses information, as there are multiple combinations of parts that map to any given number of seconds (e.g. `2.weeks` or `336.hours`). This is especially problematic when dealing with durations on the scale of months or years, as converting an exact number of seconds to one of those intervals and then using the resulting duration to modify a date will give the wrong result.
