Add option to show file size in binary or decimal

Not sure if this is a desired addition, but Thunar has this option and I like it. It gives better consistency between apps (especially for file managers and other apps that don't give the option). Seems insignificant at small file sizes but having a consistent format for GB and beyond is helpful.


This adds an option to change the way file sizes are displayed in the results (under the size column).

Binary - File size divided by 1024, displays results in KiB, MiB, GiB, TiB

Decimal - File size divided by 1000, displays results in kB, MB, GB, TB

Binary is the current method and remains default. The same is true for Thunar, which also has this option.
