Devise::Models::Confirmable#confirmation_period_valid?

Checks if the confirmation for the user is within the limit time.
We do this by calculating if the difference between today and the
confirmation sent date does not exceed the confirm in time configured.
allow_unconfirmed_access_for is a model configuration, must always be an integer value.

Example:

  # allow_unconfirmed_access_for = 1.day and confirmation_sent_at = today
  confirmation_period_valid?   # returns true

  # allow_unconfirmed_access_for = 5.days and confirmation_sent_at = 4.days.ago
  confirmation_period_valid?   # returns true

  # allow_unconfirmed_access_for = 5.days and confirmation_sent_at = 5.days.ago
  confirmation_period_valid?   # returns false

  # allow_unconfirmed_access_for = 0.days
  confirmation_period_valid?   # will always return false

  # allow_unconfirmed_access_for = nil
  confirmation_period_valid?   # will always return true
