[SCSI] lib: add generic helper to print sizes rounded to the correct SI range This patch adds the ability to print sizes in either units of 10^3 (SI) or 2^10 (Binary) units. It rounds up to three significant figures and can be used for either memory or storage capacities. Oh, and I'm fully aware that 64 bits is only 16EiB ... the Zetta and Yotta units are added for future proofing against the day we have 128 bit computers ...

lib / string_helpers: introduce string_escape_mem() This is almost the opposite function to string_unescape(). Nevertheless it handles \0 and could be used for any byte buffer. The documentation is supplied together with the function prototype. The test cases covers most of the scenarios and would be expanded later on.

lib / string_helpers: move documentation to c-file The introduced function string_escape_mem() is a kind of opposite to string_unescape. We have several users of such functionality each of them created custom implementation. The series contains clean up of test suite, adding new call, and switching few users to use it via %*pE specifier. Test suite covers all of existing and most of potential use cases. This patch (of 11): The documentation of API belongs to c-file. This patch moves it accordingly. There is no functional change.

lib / string_helpers: introduce string_escape_mem() This is almost the opposite function to string_unescape(). Nevertheless it handles \0 and could be used for any byte buffer. The documentation is supplied together with the function prototype. The test cases covers most of the scenarios and would be expanded later on.
