So that it works for all builders as some use it with the following field names: launch_block_device_mappings, ami_block_device_mappings or ebs_volumes. the refactored docs weird being to specific.
Subnet information is only really needed when the specified `vpc_id` is
not the default VPC for the region where the builder is being executed.
This change uses the AWS API to determine if the VPC provided is a
non-default VPC and only validates the existence of a `subnet_id` if a
user has provided a non-default `vpc_id`.
Tests after change

It is simply the best/simplest solution and trying to prevent users from passing and integer here would be like opening a can of worms. Because:
* we cannot make mapstructure validate our duration string ( with an UnmarshalJSON func etc.)
* we cannot make mapstructure spit a string instead of a duration and packer will decode-encode-decode config.
* the hcl2 generated code asks for a string, so this will be enforced by default.
Before this commit it was possible to set a duration using an integer or a float. Go's time.Duration is an int64 internally an mapstructure will take advantage of this and load the number as a int64 but `1` means one ns which is unexpected/confusing. To avoid confusion and enforce readability this forces users to pass a string with a unit for a duration; ex "56s".
