node-red-contrib-chronos 1.18

[jensrossbach]

The new release 1.18 is out and brings some small fixes and improvements as well as an increased unit test coverage in order to cover all new functionality from this and recent releases (I know I disregarded the unit tests a bit for the most recent versions but now I brought them back to a high coverage again). Additionally the following new functionality has been added:

Delay Node

The delay-until node has been renamed to delay node as it now not only supports delaying until a specific time has been reached but also to delay for a certain amount of time (i.e., you can define a time span for the delay). With this, the name "delay-until" got obsolete and it now covers similar functionality as the original Node-RED built-in delay node (except the rate limiting which I think is not really related to delaying).

Additionally to the already existing point in time when the delay ends, the delay can now be specified as fixed or random duration. Similar to the repeat node, the delay node also provides the possibility to specify the duration or point in time via a JSONata expression.
