Manage measure units in families and conversions from a unit to another

Allows to :

• Convert a value from a unit to another
• Add more units to a family (group of measure units)
• Create new measure families

See AkeneoMeasureBundle for more information

A measure configuration YAML file is like this example:

measures_config:
    Acceleration:
        standard: METER_PER_SQUARE_SECOND
        units:
            METER_PER_SQUARE_SECOND:
                convert: [{'mul': 1}]
                symbol: 'm/s²'
                name: 'meter per square second'
                unece_code: 'MTS'
                alternative_units: ['mdivs²']

• measures_config: the symfony extension configuration key.
• Acceleration: the measure family. In our case, we define units for physical acceleration.
• standard: this key defines which unit will be used as the base unit for this family.
• units: every unit of the family.
• METER_PER_SQUARE_SECOND: a readable name for the unit.
• convert: array of operations to convert this unit to the standard unit.
• symbol: the usual symbol of the measure.
• name: readable name useable as a label.
• unece_code: code of the measure in the UNECE convention.
• alternative_symbols: other symbols or names we could find for this same measure. The symbol can vary from one standard to another.

• alternative_symbols: one measure can be identified with multiple symbols, to reflect the differences existing between measures systems. It can also be used to add diferent encoding of the same caracter like µ which can be encoded with the 'micro' UTF8 code or the greak 'mu' UTF8 code.

• unece_code: alphanumeric identifier of the UNECE convention. Used by CNET for example (see http:https://www.unece.org/cefact/codesfortrade/codes_index.html)

• A lot of new measures. So we had to split the configuration in multiple yaml files inside the Resources/config/measures directory.

Because the number of measures is greatly increased, we provide some console commands to help keeping this configuration clean and to find information about measures.

• pim:measures:check: parse all configuration files and check for the unicity of a unit inside a family

• pim:measures:find: find a measure by one of its units and return some information.
