Add support for the time.Duration type about null HOT 5 CLOSED

Thanks!
What SQL types would it match up with? If it works with major DBs like MySQL/Postgres/SQLite then I would maybe be interested in adding it.

Just a warning though in general I intend to support only the types that driver.Value can be. https://golang.org/pkg/database/sql/driver/#Value

However, if we can demonstrate that this would be widely compatible then it might be worth adding. It may be a better idea to add it to https://github.com/guregu/toki or make a new package.
Either way please feel free to fork this library or toki and I'll take a look at it.

I appreciate that you made an issue first 👍

I can't speak for MySQL but the corresponding type in PostgreSQL is interval. I think it's a fairly normal data type to store in databases, either as a field by itself or then as the result from a +/- operation between two timestamps.

I looked at toki and still think this package could be a better fit but happy to hear your thoughts.

Alright, feel free to submit a patch here!

Sorry for waffling about this, but I've decided to limit the package to the types supported by the sql driver.
