Nova client incorrectly lists block storage size units in GB

[Richard Hagarty]

Both Horizon and the nova client documents the block storage size parameters in gigabytes(GB), when it should be in gibibytes (GiB).

Both the cinder and manila clients and associated Horizon panels have been changed to address this issue. Nova should follow suit for consistency.

Looks like this needs to be fixed on the Nova API docs as well:

nova api does not exist in api-site anymore. So, moving to invalid.

    Replace GB with GiB

    In documents and comments, 'GB' (gigabyte) is used.
    Strictly 'GiB' (gibibyte) should be used.
    So replace 'GB' with 'GiB'.
