Implement some best-unit formatter for output numbers #302

For some calculators output number can be very small or very large. Therefore fixing manually constant precision is not the best solution.

There are some libraries which provide best-unit calculations, i.e.:
https://www.npmjs.com/package/convert-units

The idea is to have a function which for 2e-9 (meters) returns "2 nm" and for 3200 (meters) returns "3.2 km".

More advanced implementation (but C++) can be found here: http://www.apc.univ-paris7.fr/~franco/g4doxy/html/G4UnitsTable_8cc-source.html
