Description
When querying data in the v1 shell the timestanps are wrong:
# environment
* OS: Debian: GNU/Linux 12 (bookworm)
* influx version: Influx CLI dev (git: a79a2a1b825867421d320428538f76a4c90aa34c) build_date: 2024-04-16T14:34:32Z
* retention periods for the bucket in question:
```
SHOW RETENTION POLICIES ON my_db
name,tags,name,duration,shardGroupDuration,replicaN,default
,,autogen,0s,168h0m0s,replicaN,true
```
# steps to reproduce
1. `influx v1 shell`
2. `use "my_db"`
3. `precision ns`
4. `SELECT time,temp FROM "heating" WHERE temp=0`
# expected result
the returned timestamps should be correct and in nanosecond precision
# actual result
the returned timestamps are incorrect
example:
* timestamp for first entry is: "1735325299900396800.0000000000"
* however, it should be: "1735325299900396750"
# proof that timestamps are incorrect
* if I query the database using the REST API, I get the correct timestamp:
```
curl --get 'http://my_server:8086/query' --header 'Authorization: Token ' --header 'Accept: application/csv' --header 'Content-type: application/json' --data-urlencode 'orgID=m<_org' --data-urlencode 'db=my_db' --data-urlencode 'epoch=ns' --data-urlencode 'q=SELECT time,temp FROM heating WHERE temp = 0'
```
the corresponding entry is: `heating,,1735325299900396750,0`
* if I now try to delete the entry using influx v1 shell according to the timestamp, the entry gets deleted only if I indicate the correct timestamp:
* `DELETE FROM "heating" WHERE time = 1735325299900396800` --> entry is not deleted
* `DELETE FROM "heating" WHERE time = 1735325299900396750` --> entry is deleted

Research direction
Start by reproducing the `influx v1 shell` query with `precision ns` and compare its timestamp with the REST API result shown in the issue. Trace the v1 shell's timestamp formatting or conversion path; done means the shell reports `1735325299900396750` without changing the value used by deletes.
