Fixed #24033 -- Use interval type on Oracle.

Use INTERVAL DAY(9) TO SECOND(6) for Durationfield on Oracle rather than
storing as a NUMBER(19) of microseconds.

There are issues with cx_Oracle which require some extra data
manipulation in the database backend when constructing queries, but it
handles the conversion back to timedelta objects cleanly.

Thanks to Shai for the review.
