KIP-808 — Add support for different unix precisions in TimestampConverter SMT

Accepted Kafka 3.2 Connect

Extends the `TimestampConverter` SMT to support unix timestamp precision other than milliseconds—specifically seconds, microseconds, and nanoseconds—via a new `unix.precision` config. The existing SMT hard-codes millisecond precision for Unix Long types, breaking interoperability with external systems that produce or expect timestamps at different granularities.
