Converting parts of a datetime into an epoch

The full usage looks like epoch --dt year month day [hour] [minute] [second] [millisecond] [microsecond] [nanosecond]

Only year, month, and day are required.

$ epoch --dt 2020 04 01 17 08 55 20 30 40
1585760935

$ epoch --ns --dt 2020 04 01 17 08 55 20 30 40
1585760935020030040

$ epoch --ms --dt 2020 04 01
