Add Ticks as a Unit to do autoconversion for systemUptime as reported by SNMP

Network equipment returns system uptime in Ticks (hundredths of seconds) when polled by Extensions 2.0 - SNMP.

In the same way that the MilliSeconds unit auto converts to Seconds, Minutes, Hours, or Days, can we have Ticks supported?

While the "Tick" unit doesn't exist yet, and I think Hundreths of a Second (CentiSecond) would be a good name for it, you can still achieve what you need today, look at an example for the Uptime declaration of the SNMP Big IP F5 extension:

metrics: - key: func:com.dynatrace.extension.f5.bigip.sys.uptime.sec metadata: displayName: System uptime description: "The system up time since boot." unit: Second tags: - "F5" - "System" query: metricSelector: (com.dynatrace.extension.f5.bigip.sys.uptime:splitBy("dt.entity.f5:instance"))/(100)
