Other unit names

[franciscop]

Some command line in Linux like lsblk will return the units with M or G instead of MB or GB. While I can simply append a 'B' to the string and call it a day, it'd be nice if this library did that by default. I can do a PR, since this should be a fairly easy fix. Example of what I'm talking about:

NAME                    MAJ:MIN RM   SIZE RO TYPE  MOUNTPOINT
sda                       8:0    0 238,5G  0 disk  
├─sda1                    8:1    0   512M  0 part  /boot/efi
├─sda2                    8:2    0   488M  0 part  /boot
└─sda3                    8:3    0 237,5G  0 part  
  └─sda3_crypt          252:0    0 237,5G  0 crypt 
    ├─ubuntu--vg-root   252:1    0 229,6G  0 lvm   /
    └─ubuntu--vg-swap_1 252:2    0   7,9G  0 lvm   [SWAP]
sdb                       8:16   1  29,7G  0 disk  
└─sdb1                    8:17   1  29,7G  0 part  /media/francisco/3836-3934

I don't think this module would parse the value 238,5GB though, right?

Apart from the discussion in #26, I am asking for adding support for prefixes MiB, GiB, ...

@franciscop you also should change coma, to dot. as decimal separator

[franciscop]

I ended up parsing sudo fdisk -l /dev/sda1 which gives the exact bytes (which is also more precise) for information. I am using this library in reverse now, from bytes to MB/GB, so thanks for creating the library!

I'll close it since it seems an edge case (M === MB), feel free to reopen if this is still valuable.
