Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Some Data Prepper configurations accept duration values in the new Data Prepper duration format (#1079). Some take an integer in milliseconds. Some in seconds.
As a pipeline author or Data Prepper administrator I am not sure what value to use.
Describe the solution you'd like
Use the Data Prepper duration format consistently for any time duration.
Existing configurations may need to be replaced so some of these changes may be breaking.

Research direction
Start by inventorying Data Prepper configuration fields that accept durations, then compare their current units with the new duration format from issue #1079. Done means time-based fields consistently use that format, with any breaking replacements and affected configuration behavior identified and covered by the relevant tests.
