Enhance athinfo with a "long" or "human readable" flag for queries

Description (last modified by jdreed) (diff)

A number of queries could benefit from a "human readable" format. For example, update-status is designed to be machine-parseable, but the information, if presented in a useful format, could be helpful to the average user. Ditto for "df" -- while machines can trivially parse kilobytes, in this day and age "df" probably wants to be run with "-h".

This is extremely low priority, since the largest consumer of athinfo is IS&T, who should know how to do these things anyway.
