Ability to describe schedules using a more standard syntax, on boards that support std lib. #9

We should look into being able to use something like the std library to describe time frames on boards that support std::chrono. This may not include all 8-bit boards.

For example, if submitting a long-running task as described in #8 for say, 1 day's time, it would be better to use some kind of chronology function such as days(1) rather than saying 3600 * 24 seconds.

This needs a bit of refinement before any work is done.

I’ve created a few helper functions that make it easier to define delays for events. I think for now the syntax is fairly clear and doesn’t feel overly verbose.
