Time Axis and Formatter

Reopening #562 now that #564 has been merged in. 

I've removed the Time Scale changes for now because they weren't playing nice with the domainers #553  (since the domainer assumes that they are quantitive scale). 

For the Time formatter, I wasn't too sure what to do with precision. Currently I'm ignoring it, but we may want to make it do something in the future. 
if the code was taken from d3, add a comment saying it was taken from d3
