timestamp different in IDL and schema

From the Avro manual<https://avro.apache.org/docs/1.8.1/spec.html#Logical+Types> the type in Avro schema is timestamp-millis.

The type for a timestamp in Avro IDL is not specified in the manual<https://avro.apache.org/docs/1.8.1/idl.html>.

I discovered that timestamp_ms gives millisecond precision. I am unaware of an IDL type for microsecond precision.

I am posting this information to help other people use timestamps in IDL.
