fix(trajectory): show exact millisecond durations consistently

Drop the details-panel Duration toggle: Duration rows always show
integer milliseconds, matching the cell time column. Timeline labels
(Total/TTFT/Decoding) and step-group descriptions previously fell back
to second labels at or above one second; they now also show exact
milliseconds via the shared formatDurationMillis formatter.
