Preserve raw labview timestamps when defragmenting

Issue #200 added support for reading timestamps as raw TDMS timestamps. However, the TDMSWriter defragment function does not preserve this raw timestamp information when writing the defragmented file.

I tried to modify the defragment method by passing raw_timestamp=True to the TDMS reader, but that results in an error when writing back the file. Here’s that error:
