Subject: [PATCH] perf(time): cache parsed relative time strings

`value_of` parsed the same few relative time strings ("1 day",
"28 days", ...) with a regex every time, although task definitions
contain several of them and are resolved multiple times. Its results
are timedeltas, which are immutable, so they are now cached.

On a typical task definition, resolve_timestamps takes 16.4us instead of
20.5us.
