### Description
Locking up BSQ with a human friendly time is not possible.
User is required to specify time in blocks.
Google does not show any time to block time converters.
User is forced to do it by hand. After multiple tries its apparent the human calculated time in blocks almost always never matches what Bisq comes up with.
Allowing the human to specify time in a format familiar to them, makes the process straightforward. No googling needed. Bisq handles the conversion from human time to block time.

#### Version
v1.5.9

### Steps to reproduce
Try locking up some BSQ for any amount of time.


### Expected behaviour
![Expected - User enters human friendly time  Bisq displays the approximate time in blocks](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2033945/111088945-d375f680-84e6-11eb-9c10-7e48120f729b.png)
User enters human friendly time (Bisq displays the approximate time in blocks).


### Actual behaviour
![Actual - user has to enter unlock time in blocks](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2033945/111088950-da046e00-84e6-11eb-85a5-164c88a396fb.png)
User has to enter `Unlock time in blocks`

![Actual - user has to calculate unlock time in blocks themselves and is likely to be wrong as it is not clear what algorithm bisq is using for the block time calculation](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2033945/111089141-c4437880-84e7-11eb-8d09-e394aca83bd9.png)
User has to calculate unlock time in blocks themselves and is likely to be wrong as it is not clear what algorithm bisq is using for the block time calculation


![Actual - bisq shows human friendly time on the confirmation screen AFTER locking up bsq. It should be on the lock page](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2033945/111088948-d83aaa80-84e6-11eb-848c-13aab5c5ea7a.png)
Bisq shows human friendly time on the confirmation screen AFTER locking up bsq. It should be on the lock page instead. Having this on the lock page would have prevented the human from going through so many headaches calculating it in the first place.
