`getTimestamp()` converts the pallet's millisecond timestamp to Unix seconds,
matching the EVM `block.timestamp` value. It exists here so every storage item authorized through
`StorageQueryPrecompile` has an explicit typed replacement.
`wasUpdatedThisBlock` provides the Timestamp pallet's update state without
requiring contracts to construct a storage key or decode SCALE.

`Timestamp.set` is an inherent submitted by block production, not a public
user operation. The precompile therefore exposes no state-changing
timestamp function.
