Add a method to get a time string with a twelve hour and AM/PM #58

Time::Piece lacks any way to get the hour in a twelve hour format (only 24 hour is supported). This would be a much welcome addition to my American brain. Something like $t->hour12. This would require an option for AM/PM to go with it $t->ampm.

Ideally a method like $t->hms with a twelve hour variant would be very helpful. Perhaps something like $t->hms12 which would return something like: 2:48:28 PM

This: Time::Piece->new()->strftime('%a, %d %b %Y %I:%M:%S %p %Z'); right now returns: Mon, 18 Jul 2022 08:50:06 PM CDT

Does that work?

Yes that does work. I don't know why I didn't even think about strftime() :)

Probably cuz the majority of the man page is dedicated to the built in format options.

Yea, docs aren't the best, sorry.
