[Debian-handbook-translators] Binary size units or not?

[Petter Reinholdtsen]

In the web page text there are some sizes listed using Mb as the unit,
see
<URL: https://hosted.weblate.org/translate/debian-handbook/99_website/en/?checksum=5ece9d9fd9947cf2 >
for an example.  I believe these really are sizes based on 1024 bytes,
not 1000 bits, making the unit confusing.  Normally 'b' is bits and 'B'
is bytes, and M is mega = ie 1000 * 1000, not 1024 * 1024.

I suggest to use the binary prefix units instead, as described in
<URL: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary_prefix >.

The Mb unit is also used in en-US/08_basic-configuration.xml as Mb/s,
and here it is obviously used for bits, not bytes.

Any objections, or should I just commit the change?
