Objective

Resolves #3277

Currenty if we try to serialize a scene that contains a Duration (which is very common, since Timer contains one), we get an error saying:

Type 'core::time::Duration' does not support ReflectValue serialization

Solution

Let Duration implement SerializeValue.

Looks good to me. Could you do the same quick for Instant in this PR? It's not quite as immediately useful, but it's an important complement to Duration.

Mmm... that one is less straightforward. Because serde doesn't implement Serialize and Deserialize for Instant. And more generally, it is not that easy (or even possible?) because Instant is an opaque type.

From https://doc.rust-lang.org/stable/std/time/struct.Instant.html:

Instants are opaque types that can only be compared to one another. There is no method to get "the number of seconds" from an instant. Instead, it only allows measuring the duration between two instants (or comparing two instants).

Sounds good to me. I'll keep an eye out for this when designing Bevy's timers and related work: hopefully we should never need to store instants.

# Objective

Resolves #3277 

Currenty if we try to serialize a scene that contains a `Duration` (which is very common, since `Timer` contains one), we get an error saying:

## Solution

Let `Duration` implement `SerializeValue`.
