Clarify platform specific resolution in sleep function docs #4474

Clarify in the sleep function docs that the timer resolution is platform specific.

Motivation

In using tokio I was confused by the behavior of the sleep function on Windows, and the behavior even seemed to contradict the "millisecond granularity" mention in the docs (see discussion here). With this small change anyone reading the sleep function docs will know better what to expect.

Solution

Add to sleep function docs that the resolution can be different between platforms and may be greater than 1 millisecond.

Comment on lines 75 to 77
/// require high-resolution timers. The implementation is platform specific
/// such that the actual resolution may be greater than 1 millisecond and vary
/// between platforms.

I would like this to be more specific if possible.

Should the docs define the behavior to be expected for each supported platform based on the current implementation ( think it would just link the mio docs)? I found a few issues about the timer granularity/precision, but none that describe configuring on windows:
#367
#970

Both those issues lead to a solution using this crate: https://github.com/DoumanAsh/async-timer

Poking around the code a little bit I found the code for the buckets and see why the granularity is limited to 1ms by the tokio runtime. And it looks like the ~16ms resolution for windows comes from the OS events implementation in mio, from the mio docs it states IOCP is used to communicate with Windows which I think is what limits the resolution. The async-timer crate creates a timer directly using a different windows API call.

I remember seeing some issue that mentions a call you can make on windows that makes the IOCP timer more precise, but I can't find it...

# 1.18.0 (April 27, 2022)

This release adds a number of new APIs in `tokio::net`, `tokio::signal`, and
`tokio::sync`. In addition, it adds new unstable APIs to `tokio::task` (`Id`s
for uniquely identifying a task, and `AbortHandle` for remotely cancelling a
task), as well as a number of bugfixes.

### Fixed

- blocking: add missing `#[track_caller]` for `spawn_blocking` ([#4616])
- macros: fix `select` macro to process 64 branches ([#4519])
- net: fix `try_io` methods not calling Mio's `try_io` internally ([#4582])
- runtime: recover when OS fails to spawn a new thread ([#4485])

### Added

- macros: support setting a custom crate name for `#[tokio::main]` and
  `#[tokio::test]` ([#4613])
- net: add `UdpSocket::peer_addr` ([#4611])
- net: add `try_read_buf` method for named pipes ([#4626])
- signal: add `SignalKind` `Hash`/`Eq` impls and `c_int` conversion ([#4540])
- signal: add support for signals up to `SIGRTMAX` ([#4555])
- sync: add `watch::Sender::send_modify` method ([#4310])
- sync: add `broadcast::Receiver::len` method ([#4542])
- sync: add `watch::Receiver::same_channel` method ([#4581])
- sync: implement `Clone` for `RecvError` types ([#4560])

### Changed

- update `nix` to 0.24, limit features ([#4631])
- update `mio` to 0.8.1 ([#4582])
- macros: rename `tokio::select!`'s internal `util` module ([#4543])
- runtime: use `Vec::with_capacity` when building runtime ([#4553])

### Documented

- improve docs for `tokio_unstable` ([#4524])
- runtime: include more documentation for thread_pool/worker ([#4511])
- runtime: update `Handle::current`'s docs to mention `EnterGuard` ([#4567])
- time: clarify platform specific timer resolution ([#4474])
- signal: document that `Signal::recv` is cancel-safe ([#4634])
- sync: `UnboundedReceiver` close docs ([#4548])

### Unstable

The following changes only apply when building with `--cfg tokio_unstable`:

- task: add `task::Id` type ([#4630])
- task: add `AbortHandle` type for cancelling tasks in a `JoinSet` ([#4530],
  [#4640])
- task: fix missing `doc(cfg(...))` attributes for `JoinSet` ([#4531])
- task: fix broken link in `AbortHandle` RustDoc ([#4545])
- metrics: add initial IO driver metrics ([#4507])
