I replaced this commit by four separate ones:

42ba4cd3 human byte: make proper proxmox API type
ab1c07a6 human byte: add from string parser
930a7146 human byte: add proper unit type and support base-10
a58a5cf7 move HumanByte to pbs-abi-types crate

I based it quite a bit on the semantics of yours. But made a few changes, the
two commits in the middle contain a bit more info in the commit message.

Also incorporated a bit of your code 1:1 and all of your (adapted) tests, plus
added a few more.

IMO the result is OK'ish and definitively better than my lousy original one, if
you find issues or don't like some changes feel free to adapt, thanks!
