to_timedelta rounds to microseconds unless unit is us or ns

[jdmarble]

Code Sample

>>> pd.to_timedelta(0.123_456_789, unit='s').components
Components(days=0, hours=0, minutes=0, seconds=0, milliseconds=123, microseconds=457, nanoseconds=0)
>>> pd.to_timedelta(123.456_789, unit='ms').components
Components(days=0, hours=0, minutes=0, seconds=0, milliseconds=123, microseconds=457, nanoseconds=0)
>>> pd.to_timedelta(123_456.789, unit='us').components
Components(days=0, hours=0, minutes=0, seconds=0, milliseconds=123, microseconds=456, nanoseconds=789)
>>> pd.to_timedelta(123_456_789.0, unit='ns').components
Components(days=0, hours=0, minutes=0, seconds=0, milliseconds=123, microseconds=456, nanoseconds=789)

Problem description

I have an array of floats that represent the number of seconds since a reference time with (roughly) nanosecond precision. I want to convert to a timedelta series, but this rounds off the nanoseconds. I can work around the behavior with something like the following:

>>> pd.to_timedelta(array_seconds * 1_000_000, unit='us')

Expected Output

>>> pd.to_timedelta(0.123_456_789, unit='s').components
Components(days=0, hours=0, minutes=0, seconds=0, milliseconds=123, microseconds=456, nanoseconds=789)
>>> pd.to_timedelta(123.456_789, unit='ms').components
Components(days=0, hours=0, minutes=0, seconds=0, milliseconds=123, microseconds=456, nanoseconds=789)
