Functions to support the string formatting of relative time/datetime numbers.
This module provides formatting of numbers (as integers, floats, Dates or DateTimes)

Returns a `{:ok, string}` representing a relative time (ago, in) for a given
number, Date or Datetime. Returns `{:error, reason}` when errors are detected.
* `relative` is an integer or `t:DateTime.t/0`, `t:Date.t/0` or `t:Time.t/0` representing the
time distance from `now` or from `options[:relative_to]`.
* `backend` is any module that includes `use Cldr` and therefore
is a `Cldr` backend module. The default is `Cldr.default_backend/0`.
* `options` is a `t:Keyword.t/0` list of options.
## Options
* `:locale` is the locale in which the binary is formatted.
The default is `Cldr.get_locale/0`
* `:format` is the format of the binary. Format may be `:default`, `:narrow` or `:short`.
* `:unit` is the time unit for the formatting. The allowable units are `:second`, `:minute`,
`:hour`, `:day`, `:week`, `:month`, `:year`, `:mon`, `:tue`, `:wed`, `:thu`, `:fri`, `:sat`,
`:sun`, `:quarter`. If no `:unit` is specified, one will be derived using the
`:derive_unit_from` option.
* `:relative_to` is the baseline `t:Date/0` or `t:Datetime.t/0` from which the difference
from `relative` is calculated when `relative` is a Date or a DateTime. The default for
a `t:Date.t/0` is `Date.utc_today/0`, for a `t:DateTime.t/0` it is `DateTime.utc_now/0`.
* `:derive_unit_from` is used to derive the most appropriate time unit if none is provided.
THere are two ways to specify `:derive_unit_from`.
* The first option is a map. The map is required to have the keys `:second`, `:minute`, `:hour`,
`:day`, `:week`, `:month`, and `:year` with the values being the number of seconds below
which the key defines the time unit difference. This is the default and its value is:
#{inspect(@unit_steps)}
* The second option is to specify a function reference. The function must take four
arguments as described below.
### The :derive_unit_from` *map*
* Any `:derive_unit_from` map is first merged into the default map. This means that developers
can use the default values and override only specific entries by providing a sparse map.
* Any entry in the `:derive_unit_from` map that has a value of `nil` is ignored. This has the
result that any key set to `nil` will never be represented in the output.
* Any entry in the `:derive_unit_from` map that has the value `:infinity` will always be the
largest time unit used to represent the relative time.
### The :derive_unit_from *function*
* The function must take four arguments:
* `relative`, being the first argument to `to_string/3`.
* `relative_to` being the value of option `:relative_to` or its default value.
* `time_difference` being the difference in seconds between `relative`
and `relative_to`.
* `unit` being the requested time unit which may be `nil`. If `nil` then
the time unit must be derived and the `time_difference` scaled to that
time unit. If specified then the `time_difference` must be scaled to
that time unit.
* The function must return a tuple of the form `{relative, unit}` where
`relative` is an integer value and `unit` is the appropriate time unit atom.
* See the `Cldr.DateTime.Relative.derive_unit_from/4` function for an example.
