Sync timestamp should increase to microsecond precision #103

Something I noticed while reviewing my own highlights in Obsidian is that timestamps for highlights from Readwise Reader contain 6 decimal places of precision (microseconds) whereas we just submit regular second timestamps with October.

Functionally, this makes no difference but visually makes for nice consistency and technically it's possible to have ordering weirdness if different books were uploaded within the same second which is probably rate but not impossible.

As best as I can tell, Reader's timestamp changed sometime in 2021 which would be sometime after the very first version of October was released (has it really been more than 2 years?!)

Highlights have 3 decimal places of precision but we can still format the last 3 places as 0's for consistency
