Redo 9ff84231('HOWTO: fix unit type suffix in "Parameter types" section').
These should be all in lower case or all in upper case, but not both.
The man page already has these in lower case.
Change above to all upper case based on below comment, instead of all
in lower. Fix the man page (which originally had in lower) as well.

Sorry for the late comment, but:
As Robert mentioned SI names are case sensitive, so for kilo it should
be 'k', not 'K'.
The example for 'int' in 'Parameter types' [1] section seems to
contradict to what
'Units' [2] section says. For kb_base=1000 the units meaning should be
strait
according to [2] but in [1] the meaning is reversed.

Mikhail
