convert str to ms

let ns = parse('1ns') // => 1 / 1e6
let μs = parse('1μs') // => 1 / 1000
let ms = parse('1ms') // => 1
let s = parse('1s')   // => ms * 1000
let m = parse('1m')   // => s * 60
let h = parse('1h')   // => m * 60
let d = parse('1d')   // => h * 24

And exponents

parse('2e3s') // => 2000 * s
