Making typed-in unit support more obvious

 

There’s a wishlish item to make support for typed-in units more discoverable.

I think the easiest way to do this is to adopt a policy of removing unit static-texts following a value textCtrl in favour of displaying the current units in the text.

If the user clicks into the control and types only a number, we’ll assume current units and display them with the value when the textCtrl loses focus.

We already have all the code to support this.  I can clean up existing dialogs when I fix them for the eradication of g_UserUnit.

Thoughts?
