Replace KB unit with KiB (#4293)
kB (*kilo* byte) unit means 1000 bytes, whereas KiB ("kibibyte") means 1024 bytes. KB was misused: replace kB or KB with KiB when appropriate. Same change for MB and GB which become MiB and GiB. Change the output of Tools/iobench/iobench.py. Round also the size of the documentation from 5.5 MB to 5 MiB.
