Description:
------------
When calling DateInterval::createFromDateString() with "6 years and 4 months" as argument, it generates a warning. (See https://3v4l.org/sQjh2)

Note: as a workaround (for the case mentioned) I'm using new \DateInterval('P6Y4M')

Test script:
---------------
<?php

var_dump(\DateInterval::createFromDateString('6 years and 4 months'));


Expected result:
----------------
object(DateInterval)#1 (16) {
    ["y"]=> int(6)
    ["m"]=> int(4)
    ["d"]=> int(0)
    ["h"]=> int(0)
    ["i"]=> int(0)
    ["s"]=> int(0)
    ["f"]=> float(0)
    ["weekday"]=> int(0)
    ["weekday_behavior"]=> int(0)
    ["first_last_day_of"]=> int(0)
    ["invert"]=> int(0)
    ["days"]=> bool(false)
    ["special_type"]=> int(0)
    ["special_amount"]=> int(0)
    ["have_weekday_relative"]=> int(0)
    ["have_special_relative"]=> int(0)
}


Actual result:
--------------
Warning: DateInterval::createFromDateString(): Unknown or bad format (6 years and 4 months) at position 8 (a)

It also fails in 7.2.17

"and" (where the parsing fails) should probably then be added to the docs as a supported/ignored word.

It's not particularly about "and", see <https://3v4l.org/cVbcv>.

But leaving it out entirely is fine:

Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not
a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at
http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report
a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php

"and" in between was never supported here.
