Allow to set an array of x-ticks placements manually on 2D charts

[Atokulus]

Hi there
Many thanks for your great work on this project. I am currently dealing with realtime charts and encountered some minor flaws (one of them shown here).

One of the challenges is to have exact datetime ticks on the x-axis to follow streaming data. On the x-axis type datetime the ticks do not follow for minutes and seconds, which seems to be a bug on its own, and it might be impossible to control the granularity and placement.

To make Apexcharts the most versatile and accessible as possible, we should be allowed to set an array of x-ticks placements manually, such as

let xaxis = {
    tickAmount: undefined,
    tickPlacement: [1588838802, 1588839802, 1588840802, ... ]
    labels: {
        formatter: (value, timestamp) => {
            return new Date(timestamp).toLocaleTimeString()
        }
    },
}

This allows for more complex setups, at minimal added complexity to the library.

What is your opinion on this?

@Atokulus I think that this is a good suggestion and can potentially solve a lot of x-axis related issues.
