get_key_reset_time returns 1970 #219

A bug has appeared I think due to a change in scopus' API, as I haven't changed my pybliometrics version. The unix timestamp returned from scopus for reset time used to be something of the form "1638444000" and is now of the form "1638444" , so all reset times are now displayed as being in 1970.

res = AuthorSearch("AU-ID(57209617104)")
res.get_key_reset_time()
#'1970-01-20 00:07:24'

Pybliometrics version "^3.0.1", but I imagine this would be true for any version.

Indeed, their precision must have changed. Thanks for alerting me to this! Unfortunately the Scopus guys do not inform us of changes in the API.
