Update Clock.Tick() to increment by 1 microsecond (1000ns) instead of 100ns to improve compatibility with external systems that only have microsecond precision. This changes the increment from 1 to 160 units in the clock's internal representation (10 * 2^4 bits).
An implication is that a single producer can write at most one million messages per second (1M micros in a second). Multiple producers can of course write at a higher rate.
