Document terms and units in DataSize and DataUnit

Prior to this commit, it was not readily apparent what terms and units
such as kilobyte/KB and megabyte/MB represented numerically in DataSize
and DataUnit.

This commit clarifies that such terms and units are based on binary
prefixes for data (i.e., powers of 2 instead of powers of 10).

Closes gh-23697
