Use coherent units and unit abbreviations for memory sizes in `bjobs -o` output

bjobs -o "max_mem memlimit" creates a hard-to-parse-and-process output because it a) doesn't respect LSF_UNIT_FOR_LIMITS for the numbers b) uses different units for the numbers c) uses different abbreviations for the same unit ("Gbytes" vs. "G") T...
