Title: Added support for useUnixTime attribute on SC.DateTime record attribute handlers.

This feature was explicitly requested by @joohan (#713) and @mrbrookman (#642). It's also something that just makes sense, many timestamps are stored in Unix time in the backend database.

I wrestled with the decision of storing the attribute value as number or string. I decided to go with number type because it just felt right, but I would like that decision reviewed.
