    runtime: increase precision of gctrace times · cc6a7fce
    Austin Clements authored
    Currently we truncate gctrace clock and CPU times to millisecond
    precision. As a result, many phases are typically printed as 0, which
    is fine for user consumption, but makes gathering statistics and
    reports over GC traces difficult.
    
    In 1.4, the gctrace line printed times in microseconds. This was
    better for statistics, but not as easy for users to read or interpret,
    and it generally made the trace lines longer.
    
    This change strikes a balance between these extremes by printing
    milliseconds, but including the decimal part to two significant
    figures down to microsecond precision. This remains easy to read and
    interpret, but includes more precision when it's useful.
    
    For example, where the code currently prints,
    
    gc #29 @1.629s 0%: 0+2+0+12+0 ms clock, 0+2+0+0/12/0+0 ms cpu, 4->4->2 MB, 4 MB goal, 1 P
    
    this prints,
    
    gc #29 @1.629s 0%: 0.005+2.1+0+12+0.29 ms clock, 0.005+2.1+0+0/12/0+0.29 ms cpu, 4->4->2 MB, 4 MB goal, 1 P
    
    Fixes #10970.
