D20181: Add Binary Data units (bits, kilobytes, kibibytes ... yottabytes)

[Jonathan Rubenstein]

  After some quick research I should have done a while ago, I have determined that KFormat is not nearly the same as what KUnitConversion does.
  
  KFormat can take an input number and output a string with the input formatted properly to the desired unit.
  
  KUnitConversion defines objects for various units with functions to convert between them. You can instantiate these objects using a number and unit type. There are a few objects, some defining the Unit itself, and some defining an instance of a Value in a certain Unit. Both of these objects have methods to convert an input into another Unit, which return either an output number or Value object in the new Unit.
  
  I am not able to use KFormat because KFormat takes an input number and only outputs a formatted string. This is exactly what it's designed for and doesn't need any changes, but is just not compatible with what KUnitConversion does as it handles numbers.

  I believe no further changes are required for this patch.
