[FR] Introduce optional physical units to parameter input

Please verify that this feature request has NOT been suggested before.

• I checked and didn't find similar feature request

Problem statement

Currently, you have to enter the value of a parameter always in the same unit, which is mostly okay - except when someone in your team uses non-SI measurement systems. Then you start calculating.

Suggested solution

Integrate pinet to facilitate a unit conversion. This would also enable setting metric or imperial in the user settings.

• API endpoint to convert from any unit to any
• Add switch to parameter to enable base unit saving
• Make the value of parameter optionally unit-safe
• Add dynamic input to the interface with unit-diverse input
• Opt: Detect unit from test
• Opt: Add babel to include translations of units
• Opt: Define custom units
• Opt: Add template tag to do unit transformation in reports

Examples of other systems

I know partskeepr could do something similar. The 'big-boy' PLMs have this integrated as well.
