docs: clarify KiB vs. KB in man pages
Update the man pages of blkid, wipefs, fallocate, fstrim, losetup
and hexdump to clarify the suffixes for the numerical values of the
offset and size/length arguments regarding KiB=1024 vs KB=1000.
Also mention the ZiB/YiB and ZB/YB suffixes supported by strtosize().
