time: accept .999 in Parse

The recent shuffle in parsing formats exposed probably unintentional
behavior in time.Parse, namely that it was mostly ignoring ".99999"
in the format, producing the following behavior:

fmt.Println(time.Parse("03:04:05.999 MST", "12:00:00.888 PDT")) // error (.888 unexpected)
fmt.Println(time.Parse("03:04:05.999", "12:00:00")) // error (input too short)
fmt.Println(time.Parse("03:04:05.999 MST", "12:00:00 PDT"))  // ok (extra bytes on input make it ok)

API CHANGE:

This CL makes all three examples valid: ".999" can match an
empty string or else a fractional second with at most nine digits.

Fixes #3701.
