Description
### Steps to reproduce
`timex 3.7.8`
```
{:ok, dt, 0} = DateTime.from_iso8601("2022-07-30 17:06:27Z")
{DateTime.utc_now(), Timex.from_now(dt)}
# {~U[2022-08-01 08:20:03.093411Z], "yesterday"}
{:ok, dt, 0} = DateTime.from_iso8601("2022-07-29 17:17:39Z")
{DateTime.utc_now(), Timex.from_now(dt)}
# {~U[2022-08-01 08:21:43.460553Z], "2 days ago"}
```
### Description of issue
- What are the expected results?
All of those results seem to be off by 1 day by my understanding.
`Yesterday` is the day before today, which from the perspective of `2022-08-01` is `2022-07-31`, not `2022-07-30`. Also in the same context I'd consider `2022-07-29` to be `3 days ago`, though that one feels a bit more open to interpretation.
- If you are certain this is a bug in Timex, do you have references I
can use to check the algorithm/logic against? For instance, a well-established
date/time library in another language, a paper, test suite, etc. It is by no
means a requirement, but is immensely helpful in fixing bugs, and provides me
extra data to use when building out the test suite
