Description
Moved from: https://yoast.atlassian.net/browse/PC-624
Reporter: @jonoalderson
Description
We calculate the estimated reading time on posts, and output this in a meta tag.
We should also populate the equivalent schema property (see https://schema.org/timeRequired ) on the Article (or the WebPage, when there is no valid Article).
Specifically
When there is a valid Article and a valid estimated reading time, we should add a timeRequired property to the Article.
The value should always be in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_8601 format (e.g., PT1H25M).
This should apply to Yoast SEO for WP, and Yoast SEO for Shopify.

Research direction
Start by locating the estimated reading-time output and Article/WebPage schema generation in Yoast SEO for WordPress and Yoast SEO for Shopify. Confirm how valid Articles and reading-time values are identified, then verify that the resulting timeRequired value uses ISO 8601 duration format in both products.
