Implement wrapped versions of Cantera classes that support units

[bryanwweber]

Idea

Nearly all calculations in Cantera are done in SI units (K, Pa, kg, kmol), and the units of quantities available to the user are also in SI units. Although this is the most useful general case, it would be helpful if users could input other units to Cantera functions and the conversion to SI is done internally before conducting calculations. This project would implement a wrapper around Cantera classes and/or functions to enable the use of alternative units transparently.

Since #3 has much more detail, I'm going to close this in favor of using that issue.
