Currently, the t[ransport parameter for specifying Idle Timeout](https://quicwg.org/base-drafts/draft-ietf-quic-transport.html#rfc.section.18.1) is in units of seconds. This seems to be too restrictive and not very future proof. Additionally, from an API perspective, most other timers are settable on the millisecond scale, so it creates a kind of ugly discrepancy between all the different timers settable by the app if just one of them has units of seconds.

I propose we change the units from seconds to milliseconds. The change both for implementations and spec should be minimal, and it makes things (timers) a little more consistent.
