org-duration: Read and write duration in compact form

* lisp/org-duration.el (org-duration-format): Add `compact' symbol.
(org-duration-set-regexps): Make white space between duration parts
optional
(org-duration-from-minutes): Handle `compact' symbol.
* testing/lisp/test-org-duration.el (test-org-duration/from-minutes):
(test-org-duration/p): Add tests.
