Basically this is to consider a new approach to the one agreed on #538. The max method for Time and Duration IMO should return the max value of the representation in nanoseconds.

Not sure if that was a constrain in the past, but the sum / substraction operators can handle properly overflow and underflow operations, so I don't see any reason to limit the max value returned by the max method.

If this is not a desired approach, an update to the header of the function will be required, as it stated \return the maximum representable value which is not the case.
