/**
 * @name intlFormatDistance
 * @category Common Helpers
 * @summary Formats distance between two dates in a human-readable format
 * @description
 * The function calculates the difference between two dates and formats it as a human-readable string.
 *
 * The function will pick the most appropriate unit depending on the distance between dates. For example, if the distance is a few hours, it might return `x hours`. If the distance is a few months, it might return `x months`.
 *
 * You can also specify a unit to force using it regardless of the distance to get a result like `123456 hours`.
 *
 * See the table below for the unit picking logic:
 *
 * | Distance between dates | Result (past)  | Result (future) |
 * | ---------------------- | -------------- | --------------- |
 * | 0 seconds              | now            | now             |
 * | 1-59 seconds           | X seconds ago  | in X seconds    |
 * | 1-59 minutes           | X minutes ago  | in X minutes    |
 * | 1-23 hours             | X hours ago    | in X hours      |
 * | 1 day                  | yesterday      | tomorrow        |
 * | 2-6 days               | X days ago     | in X days       |
 * | 7 days                 | last week      | next week       |
 * | 8 days-1 month         | X weeks ago    | in X weeks      |
 * | 1 month                | last month     | next month      |
 * | 2-3 months             | X months ago   | in X months     |
 * | 1 quarter              | last quarter   | next quarter    |
 * | 2-3 quarters           | X quarters ago | in X quarters   |
 * | 1 year                 | last year      | next year       |
 * | 2+ years               | X years ago    | in X years      |
