I'm fine with a function + sensible defaults, but Achim didn't like it
and proposed a custom format syntax instead.

org-time-clocksum-format is used all over the place in org-clock.el,
often concatenated with other bits of format string. So the changes
needed to change it into "one function to rule them all" are more
extensive, though fairly trivial.

I'd prefer to see some agreement before I waste time coding something
that won't get accepted.
