Subject: [RFC][PATCH 2/4] break out unit selection from string_get_size()


string_get_size() can really only print things in a single
format.  You're always stuck with a space, and it will
always zero-pad the decimal places:

	4.00 KiB
	40.0 KiB
	400 KiB

Printing page sizes in decimal KiB does not make much sense
since they are always nice powers of two.  But,
string_get_size() does have some nice code for selecting
the right units and doing the division.

This breaks that nice code out so that we can reuse it.
find_size_units() is a bit of a funky function since it has
so many outputs.  I don't think it's _too_ crazy though.
