Add unit for time stored in seconds

Allows to define properties which will have proper units displayed
in the interface. The internal storage is expected to be seconds
(which matches how other times are stored in Blender).

Is not immediately used in Blender, but is required for the upcoming
feature in Cycles X (D11526)

The naming does not sound very exciting, but can't think of anything
better either.

For test it probably easiest to define FloatProperty with subdtype
of TIME_ABSOLUTE.
