Make units definition Explict

[hrishiballal]

Make all units explicit (e.g. m/s)

The JSON does append things like DD, MM, DE2, CMS etc to the actual field name to add color to the units in the JSON definitions.

I don't think naming units is good enough. While it certainly gives an indication, there is no tooling or framework support to turn this naming into explicit types in programming languages that supports it.

@vosst , what do you think is the best way to do this?

@hrishiballal We proposed using proto-format for this and even prepared a fully compatible version. You want me to pr-this? Not sure what the process is here...Andi

HI @overlandla , yes please that would be great, I will review it and ask questions.
