I've had a look at this, but this would increase code complexity
in both eval.c and parseutils.c with no advantage, so I deceided not to.
Anyway, 'u' and 'm' SI prefix are the only ones that make any sense for
AV_OPT_TYPE_DURATION and supporting more prefix than those "thanks" to
common code, might add confusion for end user.

BTW, while looking at si_prefixes, I noticed that both 'k' and 'K' are
supported for meaning "kilo", which is wrong in the SI. Only 'k' is
a prefix for "kilo", 'K' is a unit for "Kelvin".
Not sure if there is actually a good reason for having 'K', if it is
needed for backward compatibility, or if it should be removed...

Great. Applied.
