For example 1024 is returned as "1K".
This does not attempt to handle decimals or SI units. If the number
isn't some multiple of a power of 1024 then it is returned as bytes (a
flag is available to indicate this).
I looked at both the gnulib and qemu versions of this function. The
gnulib version is not under a license which is compatible with libnbd
and is also really complicated, although it does handle fractions and
SI units. The qemu version is essentially just frexp + sprintf and
doesn't attempt to convert to the human-readable version reversibly.
