These notations are inspired by AWS Cron Expressions.

   cron_parser = CronParser.new('0 9 L * *')

   time = Time.local(2022, 1, 16, 12, 0)
   cron_parser.next(time)
   # => 2022-01-31 09:00

   time = Time.local(2022, 2, 3, 12, 0)
   cron_parser.next(time)
   # => 2022-02-28 09:00


   # end of March
   cron_parser = CronParser.new('0 9 L 3 *')

   time = Time.local(2022, 2, 3, 12, 0)
   cron_parser.next(time)
   # => 2022-03-31 09:00

Second Sunday, Third Friday...

   # second sunday
   cron_parser = CronParser.new('0 9 * * SUN#2')

   time = Time.local(2022, 1, 3, 12, 0)
   cron_parser.next(time)
   # => 2022-01-09 09:00
