#9286: ordb1 uses milliseconds in its descriptor, spec says it can't

 {{{

 }}}

 But dir-spec.txt says
 {{{
     "published" YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS NL

        [Exactly once]

        The time, in UTC, when this descriptor (and its corresponding
        extra-info document if any)  was generated.
 }}}

 It looks like it's violating the spec. Should we (i.e. the directory
 authorities) have validated and refused the descriptor?

 Is it our Tor implementation that does this on a weird edge case, or did
 somebody mess with something?

 (Noticed because contrib/exitlist can't handle it.)
