ByteSize.human_readable with an optional separator (e.g. whitespace) between value and unit

Initial Checks

• I have searched Google & GitHub for similar requests and couldn't find anything
• I have read and followed the docs and still think this feature is missing

Description

Currently, the return value of ByteSize.human_readable does not have any separator between the value and unit.

>>> size = ByteSize(12345678)
>>> size.human_readable()
'11.8MiB'

It looks a little bit weird to me, and I think it could be better if there's a space separating the value and unit. Though there are many ways to handle this need, it may be a better idea to provide an optional argument with this method? For example:

ByteSize.human_readable(decimal: bool = False, separator: bool = False) -> str

When I switch the separator on:

>>> size = ByteSize(12345678)
>>> size.human_readable(separator=True)
'11.8 MiB'

It's probably easy to be implemented, so I can create a PR to implement this feature if it will be acceptable.

What do you think about it?

@jks15satoshi,

Go for it! Just makes sure that by default, the separator is '' so that this isn't a breaking change. Thanks for the suggestion. Ping me when you need a review :).
