Move Joda time support into separate optional module

[rbygrave]

Joda types have been superseded by the types in java.time. That means, people should be migrating off from using Joda types to using java.time types.

As such, we should look to remove support for Joda types at some point in the future.

Edit:

Changing this from "remove" to "move into separate optional module"

Hi @nedge , have you made any progress with respect to moving off Joda to use the java.time types?

[nedge]

Not yet I’ll take a look at it and see if we can migrate in the next month or so!

Ok cool.

Just to say that my current thinking is to pull the support for Joda Time types into a separate module. After that we can at some point make that an optional dependency.

Changing this from

"Proposal: Remove support for Joda types (use java.time)"

to instead be:

"Move Joda time support into separate optional module"
