Display (is this related to visual display of a value)

Enhancement Description

TimeDelta's are displayed in a very hard to interpret manner currently.

The default serialization converts TimeDelta's to strings like P0DT0H1M19.307S

the default pandas display looks like this

00:01:29.990000
00:01:30.248000

That is also a poor display.

Ideally I want a formatter that would display the above two values as

1:29.99
1:30.24

I also would want the formater to be able to elide 0's

so if you had larger deltas,
15:12.22
03:08.78
is less readable than

15:12.22
3: 8.78

Pseudo Code Implementation

There should be a special timedelta renderer that reads the arrow data types and renders those. There are two many possible ways to serialize timedeltas, I'd rather deal with a thought out standard.
