Period: months/years not counted in total_seconds()

[zeebonk]

Pendulum version: 2.0.5, possibly related to #346

Context
When working with classes/functions/APIs that expect some period be passed as number of seconds, I like to use a Duration + the total_seconds() function to clearly express what kind of period I'm passing.

Problem
I'm running into a situation where I want a period of a year in total seconds, but to my surprise I get 0 as a result. While experimenting I found that the same applies for months. Weeks and smaller seem to work as expected.

Examples

In [9]: pendulum.Duration(years=1).total_seconds()
Out[9]: 0.0

In [10]: pendulum.Duration(months=1).total_seconds()
Out[10]: 0.0

In [11]: pendulum.Duration(days=1).total_seconds()
Out[11]: 86400.0

#389
No years/months are mentioned there, but looks similar

@senpos that is not related to this issue, but I could help with an answer :)

Any update? This bug can bite users if they're not careful.

Here's a quick way to reproduce this:

import pendulum
a = pendulum.duration(seconds=200000000)
a.in_words()
330 weeks 4 days 19 hours 33 minutes 20 seconds

The output should contain months and years.

I think this issue can be closed, it was fixed by PR #482.
