Extended the from_backend method of InstructionDurations to suppo…

…rt both `BackendV1` and `BackendV2` (#12941)

* Extended the `from_backend` method of `InstructionDurations` to support `GenericBackendV2`

* Simplified the `from_backend` method to allow using `BackendV2`. Added a test and a releasenote.

* Made changes to the releasenote.
