Create a utility method for creating a DWN compatible timestamp

[Henry Tsai]

Background:

When creating a message, there is ability to supply your own timestamp in IOS 8601 format with microsecond precision, but we don't provide a utility method for this.

Task Details:

Create a utility method for creating a timestamp accepted by DWN.

A potential method signature:

  /**
   * Creates a UTC ISO-8601 timestamp in microsecond precision accepted by DWN.
   */
  public static createTimestamp(year: number, month: number, day: number, hour: number:, minute: number, second: number, subsecond: number): string {
    ...
  }
