Title: Add non-verbose alternatives to dur!<string-literal>

This is an alternative to #174 that only adds the minutes/hours/etc aliases and does NOT change the name of "dur" to "duration".

I recommend these two to go along with this:

https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/phobos/pull/512
https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/tools/pull/23

Those take advantage of this pull request to clean up duration-related code to be much more readable. Note that neither of those are actualy required though. That's right: These "likely to cause conflicts" aliases don't even cause *one* single conflict in all of phobos, not even in std.datetime.
