Fix instruction durations in transpile() with BackendV2 (#8001)

* Fix instruction durations in transpile() with BackendV2

When running transpile() with BackendV2 based backends the instruction
durations property from the backend would not be processed correctly
resulting in the absence of the default durations for instructions
supported on the target backend. This commit fixes this by correctly
handling BackendV2 based backends and using those instruction durations
by default for transpile().

* Update test/python/compiler/test_transpiler.py
