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

[tibbycat]

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)
