                    BinaryUnitDialect everywhere

SUMMARY
KMail does not seem to follow the BinaryUnitDialect config option everywhere.
Likely it is just a matter of replacing some function with some higher-level
ones, as in a few places, KMail does do the right thing.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Set BinaryUnitDialect=2 in [Locale] section of $KDEHOME/.config/kdeglobals
(setting to metric/SI instead of IEC)
2. Start KMail
3. Look at message sizes is message list, part sizes in part list and
attachment list

OBSERVED RESULT
IEC formatting is used instead of metric for part sizes in part list and
attachment list (metric is used in the message list)

EXPECTED RESULT
Metric formatting is used everywhere

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
KDE Plasma Version: 5.24.4
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.92.0
Qt Version: 5.15.3

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
The BinaryUnitDialect config option is described in Bug 57240. This option is
for now still without a GUI, but Bug 364321 makes it clear this is about to
change. So apps like KMail should be made ready to follow BinaryUnitDialect.
