Support for IEC standard prefixes and suffix translation

[zebratrois]

I would also being able to use the standard IEC binary prefixes such as "Mi" and "Gi" instead of "M" and "G" in BinarySuffix functions and to use a localized suffix as in french we commonly use "o" instead of "B" (we use "octet(s)" instead of "byte(s)").
I can understand that replacing "GB" by "GiB" by default is counterintuitive as it's not the most commonly used spelling so it could be achieved adding another parameter or usng a "tweaked" locale.
The result could be something like this:

echo Number::binarySuffix(1073741824 * 2); // "2 GiB"
echo Number::binarySuffix(1073741824 * 2, 'en-iec'); // "2 GiB"
echo Number::binarySuffix(1073741824 * 2, 'fr'); // "2 Go"
echo Number::binarySuffix(1073741824 * 2, 'fr-iec'); // "2 Gio"

Hi @zebratrois sorry for my late response, I didnt have enough time to take care of this issue.
Idea sounds cool too me, we can do it adding third parameter into binarySuffix which gonna be

 NumberHumanizer::binarySuffix(1073741824 * 2, 'fr', false); // "2 Go" last parameter gonna be false by default
 NumberHumanizer::binarySuffix(1073741824 * 2, 'fr', true); // "2 Gio"

what do you think about that?

Hi @norzechowicz, sounds good to me :)

[norberttech]

are you able to work on that?

[zebratrois]

Yes i'll work on that but that'll take some time as i'm unplugging my computer this evening for a 2-weeks vacation ;-)
