The Django docs currently use `kB`, `MB`, etc. despite the fact that the
numbers are computed to the power of 1024 (not 1000). I propose to change
the units in the docs to `KiB`, `MiB`, etc.

Comment:
100% agree we should use the right unit for the values.
I notice there's a note on
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.7/ref/templates/builtins/#filesizeformat
that it, too, gets this wrong. Should it, perhaps, take an optional
argument to switch modes?

Comment (by freakboy3742):
See also #8733 and #19348. I'm -0 on making this change. As soon as OS
vendors agree what units we should use, I'll change my mind (and eat my
hat :-).
