Parse some abbreviated strings as relative dates
dateparser so far did consider strings like "1h20m" as an absolute time. This commit changes that, so "1h20" remains an absolute time, while "1h20m" is now considered a relative date. This makes the output much more predictable and not dependent on the use of whitespaces anymore. Fixes #1012 Behavior before the changes: ```python >>> from datetime import datetime >>> import dateparser >>> ref_date = datetime(2023, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5) >>> dateparser.parse("1h20", settings={"RELATIVE_BASE": ref_date}) datetime.datetime(2023, 1, 2, 1, 20) >>> dateparser.parse("1h20m", settings={"RELATIVE_BASE": ref_date}) datetime.datetime(2023, 1, 2, 1, 20) >>> dateparser.parse("1h 20m", settings={"RELATIVE_BASE": ref_date}) datetime.datetime(2023, 1, 2, 1, 44, 5) >>> dateparser.parse("1h20m", settings={"RELATIVE_BASE": ref_date, "PREFER_DATES_FROM": "future"}) datetime.datetime(2023, 1, 3, 1, 20) ``` Behavior after the changes: ```python >>> from datetime import datetime >>> import dateparser >>> ref_date = datetime(2023, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5) >>> dateparser.parse("1h20", settings={"RELATIVE_BASE": ref_date}) datetime.datetime(2023, 1, 2, 1, 20) >>> dateparser.parse("1h20m", settings={"RELATIVE_BASE": ref_date}) datetime.datetime(2023, 1, 2, 1, 44, 5) >>> dateparser.parse("1h 20m", settings={"RELATIVE_BASE": ref_date}) datetime.datetime(2023, 1, 2, 1, 44, 5) >>> dateparser.parse("1h20m", settings={"RELATIVE_BASE": ref_date, "PREFER_DATES_FROM": "future"}) datetime.datetime(2023, 1, 2, 4, 24, 5) ```
