[PATCH] use KB instead of kB for traffic counters

New progress bar shows traffic statistics with kB suffix.
I found this suffix odd because everywhere in computer industry
I see only "KB".

Furthermore Wikipedia claims that "k" used for 1000 units (SI),
while "K" for 1024 units (JEDEC):

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kilobyte

In fact bzr shows the numbers in 1024 units.

Attached patch fixes all occurrences I found by grep.

May be it's just me who found "kB" odd, but I hope
you don't think my patch is bikesheding.
