After more thought, I now think we should be consistent with "df."  We could
add a "-h" flag to "fs set/getquota" for those who don't want to count
zeros, and just use powers of ten (bytes).  Then df can convert to blocks
internally.

% fs sq . 6T -h
% fs lq -h
Volume Name                   Quota      Used %Used   Partition

% fs lq
Volume Name                   Quota      Used %Used   Partition
