Calculates the amount of time until another time _in terms of the specified unit.
!(p)
This calculates the amount of time between two {@code LocalTime}
objects _in terms of a single {@code TemporalUnit}.
The start and end points are {@code this} and the specified time.
The result will be negative if the end is before the start.
The {@code Temporal} passed to this method is converted to a
{@code LocalTime} using {@link #from(TemporalAccessor)}.
For example, the amount _in hours between two times can be calculated
using {@code startTime.until(endTime, HOURS)}.
!(p)
The calculation returns a whole number, representing the number of
complete units between the two times.
For example, the amount _in hours between 11:30 and 13:29 will only
be one hour as it is one minute short of two hours.
!(p)
There are two equivalent ways of using this method.
The first is to invoke this method.
The second is to use {@link TemporalUnit#between(Temporal, Temporal)}:
!(pre)
// these two lines are equivalent
amount = start.until(end, MINUTES);
amount = MINUTES.between(start, end);
</pre>
The choice should be made based on which makes the code more readable.
!(p)
The calculation is implemented _in this method for {@link ChronoUnit}.
The units {@code NANOS}, {@code MICROS}, {@code MILLIS}, {@code SECONDS},
{@code MINUTES}, {@code HOURS} and {@code HALF_DAYS} are supported.
Other {@code ChronoUnit} values will throw an exception.
!(p)
If the unit is not a {@code ChronoUnit}, then the result of this method
is obtained by invoking {@code TemporalUnit.between(Temporal, Temporal)}
passing {@code this} as the first argument and the converted input temporal
as the second argument.
!(p)
This instance is immutable and unaffected by this method call.
@param endExclusive the end time, exclusive, which is converted to a {@code LocalTime}, not null
@param unit the unit to measure the amount _in, not null
@return the amount of time between this time and the end time
@throws DateTimeException if the amount cannot be calculated, or the end
temporal cannot be converted to a {@code LocalTime}
@throws UnsupportedTemporalTypeException if the unit is not supported
@throws ArithmeticException if numeric overflow occurs
