add conversion to FiniteDuration to zio.duration

[domdorn]

Unfortunatelly we still have a lot of akka in our codebase.
akka always requires scala.concurrent.duration.FiniteDuration instances, however I always have zio._ imported.
There's already a .asScala conversion, however that one gives me just the supertype scala.concurrent.duration.Duration when I need the subtype.

could we maybe have a .asScalaFinite or .asScalaFiniteUnsafe that would return a FiniteDuration for everything that is not infinity?

Thanks!

I think asScala could be made to return FiniteDuration always, which might be the better fix.

Isnt that a regression? I mean what would it return for the infinite case?

@NavidJalali The thing is, there is no infinite case. It's faked. It used to exist back when we used Scala duration but Duration.Inf was ported over to mean "big finite" when we adopted java.time structures.

(Unless I'm missing something...)
