[FLINK-4121] Add timeunit (ms) to docs for timestamps and watermarks
This PR inserts an explicit specification of the timeunit used in
watermarks and timestamps in the documentation. (According to FLINK-4121).
I'm teaching a class where students are supposed to implement Flink
streaming programs. It seems to be unclear for them, that the time unit of
timestamps and watermarks is milliseconds. They just see
TimeWindow.seconds(...) or something similar and assume the timestamps to be of
the same unit (seconds) which is obviously not the case. I just checked the
documentation and there is no explicit specification of the time unit used for
timestamps. After short talk with Aljoscha Krettek, I'll open a mini-PR to
address this issue.
