String formatted = formatTime(1548979724964)

Format #
Here's a mini truth table for the format of the value returned by the function:

< 1 second : "Just now"
< 60 seconds : "X seconds" (2-59)
< 2 minutes : "1 minute"
< 60 minutes : "X minutes" (2-59)
< 2 hours : "1 hour"
< 24 hours : "X hours" (2-23)
< 2 days : "1 day"
< 7 days : "X days" (2-6)
< 2 weeks : "1 week"
< 28 days : "X weeks" (2-3)
< 30.44 * 1.5 days : "1 month"
< 365 - 15.22 days : "X months" (2-12)
< 730 days : "1 year"
Rest : "X years"

I decided to use truncate() for everything except months, as they can yield scenarios where something was stamped 59 days ago, but it still returns "1 month" (for example). Monthly timestamps are rounded to the nearest month.
