Now, a month and a half later, I would love to see some feedback if there is an issue with this PR, or to see it merged. I know that as an open-source project it is not fair to have any expectations or demands on the project managers - I am simply nervous about this PR getting a conflict or something like it, which would be non-trivial to me, as a very inexperienced GitHub user. |

In this PR, I have added the CGS units for:
Magnetic flux (Maxwell)
Magnetic flux density (Gauss)
Magnetic intensity/magnetic auxiliary field (Oersted).
The gauss has the symbol
Gs, which is taken by the SI-unit gigaseconds. I found no abbreviation for gauss I was happy with, and landed on "Gauss" as the symbol. While inelegant, it is clear. Please suggest an improvement if you can think of one.I have little understanding of the inner workings of Unitful.jl, so feel free to point out mistakes if you see any.
