Add support for specifying units for a column in metadata.json and rendering them on display using pint.

Example table metadata: json "license_frequency": { "units": { "frequency": "Hz", "channel_width": "Hz", "height": "m", "antenna_height": "m", "azimuth": "degrees" } }

Example result

This works surprisingly well! I'd like to add support for using units when querying but this is PR is pretty usable as-is.

(Pint doesn't seem to support decibels though - it thinks they're decibytes - which is an annoying omission.)
