Document the units of -ddump-timings
Right now, in the output of -ddump-timings to a file, you can't tell what the units are:
```
CodeGen [TemplateTestImports]: alloc=22454880 time=14.597
```
I believe bytes/milliseconds are the correct units, but confirmation would be appreciated. I'm basing it off of this snippet from `withTiming'`:
```
when (verbosity dflags >= 2 && prtimings == PrintTimings)
$ liftIO $ logInfo dflags (defaultUserStyle dflags)
(text "!!!" <+> what <> colon <+> text "finished in"
<+> doublePrec 2 time
<+> text "milliseconds"
<> comma
<+> text "allocated"
<+> doublePrec 3 (realToFrac alloc / 1024 / 1024)
<+> text "megabytes")
```
which implies time is in milliseconds, and allocations in bytes (which divided by 1024 would be KB, and again would be MB)
