Information units consistency #15106

   There is a plenty diversity in information units through the code, command-line options, GUI and logs. Here are some examples:

   -dbcache megabytes in CL and GUI vs MiB in logs and code (constants in txdb.h)

   -prune MiB in CL vs GB in GUI. Also, setting prune = 1 GB in GUI gives incorrect prune target = 1000 MiB.

   Which prefix type – binary (a power of 2) or SI (a power of 10) – is preferable in the Bitcoin Core project?

   IMO units that people regularly use are most preferable (gigabyte, megabyte).
