Description
I commonly have time series dataframes with sub-second frequencies (milli/micro/nano) and I would like to use Scatter plots with rangeselector to visualize them. Issue is rangeselector's buttons can only be provided with a step included in the following:
['month', 'year', 'day', 'hour', 'minute', 'second', 'all']
I would like to be able to pass as well: nanosecond, microsecond, and millisecond.
I am not familiar with the plotly.py codebase but I am happy to open a PR provided I can have some guidance.

Confirm the change by exercising rangeselector with nanosecond, microsecond, and millisecond steps and verifying that the resulting plot configuration is accepted.
