Comment(by nickm):

 Looks good.  A couple of things to change/think about:

   * Instead of rejecting a value that doesn't divide into 1 second, can we
 round to the nearest divisor of 1 second and warn?
   * Actually, there are only 15 divisors of 1 second that you can express
 as an integer number of msec.  Is this too restrictive?  Too permissive?
 Is there any good reason for anyone to set something bigger than 1msec but
 smaller than 1sec?
   * The code should document that the option only controls the granularity
 written by Tor to a file or console log.  It does not (for example) "batch
 up" log messages to  affect times logged by a controller, times attached
 to syslog messages, or the mtime fields on log files.  I think this is
 okay, but we should document it so nobody gets surprised.
