docs for datetime units show incorrect time spans

See original GitHub issue

This can be seen in http://docs.scipy.org/doc/numpy/reference/arrays.datetime.html#datetime-units

The correct time spans should be:

s   second      +/- 2.9e11 years    [2.9e11 BC, 2.9e11 AD]
ms  millisecond +/- 2.9e8 years     [ 2.9e8 BC, 2.9e8 AD]
us  microsecond +/- 2.9e5 years     [290301 BC, 294241 AD]
ns  nanosecond  +/- 292 years       [  1678 AD, 2262 AD]

rather than

s   second      +/- 2.9e12 years    [ 2.9e9 BC, 2.9e9 AD]
ms  millisecond +/- 2.9e9 years     [ 2.9e6 BC, 2.9e6 AD]
us  microsecond +/- 2.9e6 years     [290301 BC, 294241 AD]
ns  nanosecond  +/- 292 years       [ 1678 AD, 2262 AD]

I don’t recommend that approach for the back and forth typical of numpy PRs, but noticed that the PR was against 1.7.x rather than master. Recently testing against older branches seems to fail, possibly because of changes in the travis tester and also the fact that appveyor is newer.

Take a look at the contributing guidelines: https://github.com/numpy/numpy/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md (and links there-in)

It’s a little more work to set started, but I think it’s definitely worthwhile to get git setup properly on your computer.
