cmd: Default disk "size" parameter to GB

Browse Source 
Most cloud providers allow disk size allocation on in units
of GB. Make it the default for linuxkit disk "size" arguments.
Users can override the unit by appending a M to the disk size.

All local `linuxkit run` methods (currently `hyperkit`, `qemu`, and `vmware`) take a `-disk` argument:
* `-disk path,size=100M,format=qcow2`. For size the default is in MB but `G` can be aspecified for GB. The format can be omitted for the platform default, and is only useful on `qemu` at present.
* `-disk path,size=100M,format=qcow2`. For size the default is in GB but an `M` can be appended to specify sizes in MB. The format can be omitted for the platform default, and is only useful on `qemu` at present.
If the _path` is specified it will use the disk at location _path_, if you do not provide `-disk `_path_, `linuxkit` assumes a default, which is _prefix_`-state/disk.img` for `hyperkit` and `vmware` and _prefix_`-disk.img` for `qemu`.
