Additional variable types / Temproal support

Currently, fluent-bundle cannot handle [Temporal](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Temporal).

# What would need to change

It is hardcoded only to support FluentVariable entries (FluentType, string, number, or Date).

Here's how they are resolved:

https://github.com/projectfluent/fluent.js/blob/48e2a62ed45ff2a62a231b2e83cfd8b332d27acb/fluent-bundle/src/resolver.ts#L178-L200

It is, therefore, not possible to pass in other values.

## Possible fixes

* Built-in support for Temporal objects
* A way to pass in a function to convert custom objects into FluentType instances
* All of the above

The first one would be very convenient but would also require checking whether Temporal exists.

# Project status

As a side note, I'm seeing a lot of old issues with no progress. I'm happy to work on a PR for this, but I'm wondering what the maintenance status of the project is.

	// Return early if the argument already is an instance of FluentType.
	if (arg instanceof FluentType) {
	return arg;
	}

	// Convert the argument to a Fluent type.
	switch (typeof arg) {
	case "string":
	return arg;
	case "number":
	return new FluentNumber(arg);
	case "object":
	if (arg instanceof Date) {
	return new FluentDateTime(arg.getTime());
	}
	// eslint-disable-next-line no-fallthrough
	default:
	scope.reportError(
	new TypeError(`Variable type not supported: $${name}, ${typeof arg}`)
	);
	return new FluentNone(`$${name}`);
	}
	}
