Now parse_memory_unit returns -1024 for bytes as divider, constant
"bytes" has moved there.
Add new memory_units_bytes_hint which differs from an original
memory_units_int by "bytes" size unit.
Allow hintmsg be NULL and if so, skip setting dereferenced variable to
memory_units_bytes_hint.

Current version contains correct hint message, it passes tests.
Besides mentioned above there are some comment rewordings, and
variable renaming.
