normalizeDuration

Overview

Normalizes any serialized duration into a sign plus whole days, hours, minutes, and seconds, so a display component can word it without knowing which serializer sent it.

Two shapes arrive from the server. DRF's DurationField sends a Django duration string ([-]D HH:MM:SS[.ffffff], days omitted when zero), where a negative duration carries its sign on the day count while the clock part stays positive, so -1 23:00:00 means minus one hour. VUEDA's DurationSecondsField sends a number of seconds instead. Both reduce to a total, which this function then splits back into units.

Sub-second precision is dropped: the seconds component truncates toward zero.
