decimal digits for the GPS times #70

Description

@camurria

In the GWTC catalogs published on GWOSC, the GPS time is always given with a single decimal digit. This simplifies the documentation because with this level of precision it's not necessary to specify for example if the time refers to one specific detector.

In the community catalogs draft, e.g. https://gwosc-rl8.ligo.caltech.edu/eventapi/html/4-OGC/GW200311_115853/v2/, the number of the decimal digit in the GPS is instead two. Increasing the precision means that additional documentation is needed. For example it could be that this is the GPS time the GW cross the center of the Earth, or one of the detectors. It should be asked to the group that prepares the catalog to specify this detail.
