    free: Use IEC units · f8e98b65
    Craig Small authored
    Free always used 1024 based units but used the confusing old style
    kilo,mega etc.
    
    This change changes the names to kibi,mebi for 1024 based divisors
    and kilo,mega for 1000 based divisors or IEC units.
    
    It also checks if you try to set two units, e.g free -k -m
    Petabyte and Pebibyte have been added.
    
    If you used to use the long options such as --mega these will now
    actually print megabytes (they previously printed mebibytes).
    The short options are being used on the IEC units
