Make it obvious to 'dumpxml' readers what unit we are using,
since our default of KiB for memory (1024) differs from
qemu's default of MiB; while we use bytes for storage.

Tests were updated via:

$ find tests/*data tests/*out -name '*.xml' | \
   xargs sed -i 's/<\(memory\|currentMemory\|hard_limit\|soft_limit\|min_guarantee\|swap_hard_limit\)>/<\1 unit='"'KiB'>/"
$ find tests/*data tests/*out -name '*.xml' | \
   xargs sed -i 's/<\(capacity\|allocation\|available\)>/<\1 unit='"'bytes'>/"

followed by a few fixes for the stragglers.

* docs/schemas/basictypes.rng (unit): Add 'bytes'.
(scaledInteger): New define.
* docs/schemas/storagevol.rng (sizing): Use it.
* docs/schemas/storagepool.rng (sizing): Likewise.
* docs/schemas/domaincommon.rng (memoryKBElement): New define; use
for memory elements.
* src/conf/storage_conf.c (virStoragePoolDefFormat)
(virStorageVolDefFormat): Likewise.
* src/conf/domain_conf.h (_virDomainDef): Document unit used
internally.
* src/conf/storage_conf.h (_virStoragePoolDef, _virStorageVolDef):
Likewise.
* tests/*data/*.xml: Update all tests.
* tests/*out/*.xml: Likewise.
* tests/define-dev-segfault: Likewise.
* tests/openvzutilstest.c (testReadNetworkConf): Likewise.
* tests/qemuargv2xmltest.c (blankProblemElements): Likewise.

corresponds to memory v1 1/3;
v2: also output units for storage, use 'unit=' not 'units=', use common RNG

Portions of this patch elided to reduce mail size; see cover letter
for git repo to see entire patch.

I didn't read the cover letter thoroughly enough to notice the repo, at first :(

Looking at this again. Don't you want to be able to specify the unit as "KiB" or just only as "k"?

I'm not quite sure about this. When we print the unit and somebody tries to use the xml as a template for a new machine or simply to change the memory allocation for the domain using virsh edit, he might be tempted to change the unit to mibibytes and expect the amount of memory to be used. Instead of that he will get that amount in kilobytes and no warning about this. We probably should parse the unit and at least warn the user about this happening.

With this patch applied to current upstream you will need to:

to pass the tests.

I'm not comfortable ACKing this one :(. I'd like to have some feedback from others on printing units without parsing them. Otherwise looks fine and passes the tests with that patch applied.
