Add keybindings to insert Unix timestamp literals - #2272

Conversation
by analogy to existing keybindings for inserting date/datetime literals. * C-o u: inserts the Unix timestamp in seconds * C-o C-u: inserts the Unix timestamp in microseconds The timestamp is calculated clientside, rather than invoking UNIX_TIMESTAMP() on the server, under the theory that clocks are correctly synchronized. This could be revisited. It allows a nicer microsecond value. Motivation: queries using UNIX_TIMESTAMP() are not repeatable. Incidentally adds a noop keystroke test.

Description
Add keybindings to insert Unix timestamp literals, by analogy to existing keybindings for inserting date/datetime literals.
The timestamp is calculated clientside, rather than invoking
UNIX_TIMESTAMP()on the server, under the theory that clocks are correctly synchronized. This could be revisited. It allows a nicer microsecond value.Motivation: queries using
UNIX_TIMESTAMP()are not repeatable.Incidentally adds a noop keystroke test.
