https://www.illumos.org/issues/640
du(1), df(1m), ls(1), and swap(1m) all include a copy (it appears literally
copied) of the 'number_to_scaled_string' function in their source. This should
be moved to a shared library and all 4 commands should use this instead.

FreeBSD note: of all libcmdutils functionality ZFS (and other illumos
contrib code) currently uses only nicenum() function (which is similar
to humanize_number but has some formatting differences). For this
reason I decided to not port the whole library. As a result, nicenum.c
from libcmdutils is compiled into libzfs and libzpool. This is a bit
ugly, but works. If one day we are forced to create libillumos, then
the file should be moved to that library.
