update_duration_with_idle_times

Purpose
When having previously set a start-based duration (through setduration or set_start_based_duration), this method will update the start-based durations to simulate idle times windows.
Warning: when adding several idle time windows for a resource and a task, they must be added in increasing time order and time windows must be disjoint. If not done this way, durations might be inconsistent. Also, propagation should not be called between successive calls.
When developing the model, it is recommended to check the start-based duration constraint by printing the constraint: cp_show_var_constraints(getduration(task))
