operator/(duration, duration) cannot be used #555

Description

@mtnpke

Trying to invoke operator/(duration, duration) yields to compile errors on MSVC because it tries to instantiate the other overload - operator/(duration, number) - and fails in determining the common_type of the arguments. This failure is fatal because EASTL includes the original C++11 common_type definition that is not SFINAE-friendly. This was later acknowledged in N3843 and fixed for C++17 in LWG2408.

(This is irrespective of and a separate issue to #554)

Example code:

seconds s(5);
milliseconds ms(10);
auto result{s / ms}; // added as line 107 in TestChrono.cpp; see below
