 Given #9272 #18495 and #27271 I think it's time for a better alternative
 to `human_time_diff()`. My proposal is an entirely new function which:

 * Should be simple - no bazillion-dimensional arrays for arguments
 * Should not lack context in translatable strings - "from now", "ago"
 should be part of the resulting strings
 * Should have consistent strings, no abbreviations such as mins, yrs, hrs,
 secs
 * Should assume all timestamps have no offsets
