Comment:
Example cases, can be discussed:
parse_duration('-00:01:01') => plus 61 seconds, so it is not -(00:01:01)
but (-00):(+01):(+01)
**parse_duration('00:-01:-01) => None , leading zeros will prevent
parsing**
parse_duration('-01:01') => minus 59 seconds
parse_duration('-01:-01') => minus 61 seconds
The fix presented would allow the second line to be parsed (which would
help with generated durations).
And some instructions in the function/documentation/wiki would be useful,
to clarify how the minus sign affects in duration.
