Timestamp is being decoded as int64 instead of string

[yepher]

events/events.go implementation is based on an error in SparkPost documentation. The Timestamp field is being decoded as int64 instead of String.

• Fixes problem where Timestamp was getting decoded as int64 instead of String.
• Changes imports to be relative so it is easier to test local changes or changes on a branch.

#35 parses timestamps into native golang time.Time values via custom JSON Unmarshaller. I noticed that Webhook Event API returns Unix timestamps (int64) and Event Samples API returns string of RFC 3339-like format.

Snippet:

type Timestamp time.Time

func (t *Timestamp) MarshalJSON() ([]byte, error) {
    return []byte(fmt.Sprint(time.Time(*t).Unix())), nil
}

func (t *Timestamp) UnmarshalJSON(data []byte) error {
    // Timestamps coming from Webhook Events are Unix timestamps.
    unix, err := strconv.ParseInt(string(data), 10, 64)
    if err == nil {
        *t = Timestamp(time.Unix(unix, 0))
        return nil
    }

    // Timestamps coming from Event Samples are in this RFC 3339-like format.
    customTime, err := time.Parse("\"2006-01-02T15:04:05.000-07:00\"", string(data))
    if err != nil {
        return err
    }

    *t = Timestamp(customTime)
    return nil
}

Seems like the API changed or something in the last few days -- and instead of pure Unix timestamp integers, the Webhook API now returns strings. I had to add another commit https://github.com/pressly/gosparkpost/commit/c848d16a4f77aec77fb6e89d5fffd94441632a1a to trim the quotes.

@yepher this can be closed, since Timestamps are now time.Time values
