Clarify the docs of promtool --{min,max}-time options

Browse Source 
State explicitely what kind of timestamps are expected for the
--min-time and --max-time options of promtool tsdb commands.

This is especially important for the dump-openmetrics command as users
could otherwise  mistakenly think it would be in seconds, like the
OpenMetrics timestamps themselves.
