Humanizer was only used for the automatic countdown phrase and the countdown target preview, both English-only. RelativeTimeFormatter ports Humanizer 3.0.10's default DateTime algorithm and English strings exactly, verified against the library with a sweep of ~450k offsets across several anchor dates before removing it. Dropping the package removes a 713 KB embedded DLL and takes the Release exe from about 3.6 MB to 2.6 MB. It also removes the Unspecified-Kind workaround from #146 since the port compares ticks directly.
Future countdowns now read "in 3 days", "in an hour", "in a minute".
Past ones still read "3 days ago". Single units use the same article
throughout ("a second", "a month", "a year") instead of mixing
"one second" with "a minute".
"now", "tomorrow" and "yesterday" are unchanged.

Humanizer was only used for two things, both English-only: the automatic countdown phrase and the countdown target preview. This replaces it with
RelativeTimeFormatter, a ~70 line port of Humanizer 3.0.10's defaultDateTimealgorithm and English strings.Commit 1: exact port
Commit 2: wording
