Add time units to storage.tsdb.retention.size flag (#6365) 

* Add time units to storage.tsdb.retention.size flag

In an effort to reduce confusion with the `m` option of the
`ParseDuration()` function, this commit adds the available time units to
the `storage.tsdb.retention.time` flag to help showcase that there is no
option for months (which could be assumed to be `m`).

If someone were looking to set the retention to six months, they may
mistakenly do so with `6m`, which would reduce their retention to six
minutes.
