Consider switching chrono to jiff #838

Jiff is a new Rust crate for time management, aligned with Temporal proposal, and better alignment with the direction of the industry.

Thanks for opening an issue! At least for the time being, chrono is an implementation detail in ion-rust, so replacing it isn't a priority. Would jiff enable any new functionality, or are you just considering the library's general maintenance?

I'm working on a config/storage system which exposes different file stores (JSON, Postcard, TOML, Yaml etc.). I'm looking to support Timestamp type and based on my research settled on Jiff. I started looking into Ion today and would like to consider supporting it, but bringing jiff and chrono into my deps is suboptimal, esp that jiff seems like a better choice for Ion.

Totally understand this is not a prio
