Virtual Machine Resources Use Decimal MB/GB Instead of Binary MiB/GiB

[kakathian]

Fixes: #21095

This change would primarily affect display and input handling in the VM resources UI, without changing the underlying numeric values unless binary units are adopted.

Hi @kakathian, looking at this PR it appears that all it does it change the labeling in the UI to reflect a presumption that the stored values are binary (MiB/GiB). It doesn't seem to take into account the setting of DISK_BASE_UNIT/RAM_BASE_UNIT (which might be set to something else, and indeed by default are set to base 10, i.e. MB/GB or 1000 MB = 1 GB).

The proposal in the issue was meant to cover different users' needs by flexibly adapting to whether they are using base-10 or base-2 units, or else by adopting a comprehensive, system-wide enforcement of a standard storage unit and then reflecting the chosen display unit at the UI level.
