Before, Instant did use nanosecond precision internally, and it could be accessed by adding or substracting time periods or constructing a new Instant by parsing a string with a nanosecond component. Now, all the internal state of an `Instant` is more easily accessible.
It is customary to use the full measurement unit names in Kotlin libraries, so having "Millis" as an exception was harming consistency. Also, "Unix time" was deemed similar enough to our notion of the time epoch, and so the two names were unified.
