string_get_size() can really only print things in a single format. You're always stuck with a space, and it will always zero-pad the decimal places: 4.00 KiB 40.0 KiB 400 KiB Printing page sizes in decimal KiB does not make much sense since they are always nice powers of two. But, string_get_size() does have some nice code for selecting the right units and doing the division. This breaks that nice code out so that we can reuse it. find_size_units() is a bit of a funky function since it has so many outputs. I don't think it's _too_ crazy though.
