Use notation compatible with SI and with IEC 60027-2.
For example, --block-size=1MB now means --block-size=1000000,
whereas --block-size=1MiB now means --block-size=1048576.
A trailing `B' now means decimal, not binary; this is a silent change.
-H or --si now outputs the trailing 'B', for consistency with this.
Programs now output trailing 'K' (not 'k') to mean 1024.
New df, du short option -B is short for --block-size.
You can omit an integer `1' before a block size suffix,
e.g. `df -BG' is equivalent to `df -B 1G' and to `df --block-size=1G'.
* NEWS, doc/coreutils.texi: Document this. Remove documentation
for obsolescent constructs MD, --kilobytes, -m or --megabytes.
* src/dd.c (usage, parse_integer): Prefer K to k for 1024.
* src/shred.c (usage, main): Likewise.
* src/shred.c (xstrtoumax): If there is no number but there
is a valid suffix, assume 1. "MB" now means decimal, "MiB" binary.
Accept 'K' as well as 'k'.
* src/dd.c (usage): MD -> MB for decimal.
* src/df.c (BLOCK_SIZE_OPTION): Remove; no longer needed now that
we have 'B'.
(long_options, usage, main): Add -B.
(usage): Deprecate --kilobytes, -m, --megabytes.
Document size suffixes.
* src/du.c: Likewise.
* src/ls.c (usage): Deprecate --kilobytes. Document size suffixes.
* src/df.c (print_header, show_dev): Enlarge column widths for
trailing "B".
