Add ms in the sender_info timestamp #20

Will help reducing the number of entries to be saved in the database rejected because of conflicting timestamps. Will require a bump in the wp protocol version.

I have verified that the database already supports timestamp precision down to microseconds. Once you add a period to the timestamp, python is agnostic whether you go to milli, micro, or nanosecond precision.

dripline doesn't care, a few dragonfly services require consistency with each other:

pid_loop must be consistent with the endpoint it is triggering on
pinger and sensor_monitor must be consistent with the operator silence
sql_snapshot, daq_db_interface, and daq_run_interface need consistency
