These functions take the raw number and a unit and automatically
print it out "scaled down" to a proper SI-prefix, for powers of 2
and 10 respectively.
Apply them to the 2-power cases and keep the 10-power for a later
commit.
First dividing by interval before multiplying with 1000 decreases the
precision by +-(interval - 1) * 1000, as interval arithmetic always
applies the Gauß-function to the result.
This is not necessary and simply reordering the operations mitigates
this.
Within the components, snprintf() was unchecked and had inefficient
calls in some places.
We implement esnprintf() that does all the dirty laundry for us
and use it exclusively now.
implemented the netspeed functionality for openbsd.
furthermore the static keyword was removed of the interval variable in
config.def.h for usage as extern variable.
