Sweep: Define `NoDims` for indicating something is not a quantity

[MilesCranmer]

We should define NoDims as an abstract type in src/types.jl which gets returned by dimension by default, when there is no quantity input. Thus, e.g., iszero(dimension(::Float32)) should be true by default, and dimension(::Float32) == dimension(::UnionAbstractQuantity) should always be true when iszero(dimension(::UnionAbstractQuantity)) is true.

Should write unit tests for this change.

Can also use this to simplify some of the operators in src/math.jl. Instead of having them write out iszero(...), they can simply write dimension(l) == dimension(r) to let us refactor parts of the code.

Step 2: ⌨️ Coding

• [X] Modify src/types.jl ! No changes made

  Modify src/types.jl with contents:
  • At the end of the file, define a new abstract type `NoDims` that inherits from `AbstractDimensions`.
  • Modify the `dimension` function to return an instance of `NoDims` by default when there is no quantity input.

• [X] Ran sandbox for src/types.jl. ✗

  Run `src/types.jl` through the sandbox.

• [X] Modify src/math.jl ✓ https://github.com/SymbolicML/DynamicQuantities.jl/commit/a8ab0c0751143792ec820787c41d3e222a2576a8

  Modify src/math.jl with contents:
  • Refactor the operators in `src/math.jl` to use the new `NoDims` type. Instead of checking if the dimensions are zero, simply compare the dimensions of two quantities.

  Create test/nodims.jl with contents:
  • Create a new test file `test/nodims.jl`.
  • Write tests for the new `NoDims` type. Test that the `dimension` function returns an instance of `NoDims` by default when there is no quantity input.
  • Write tests for the refactored operators in `src/math.jl`. Test that they work correctly with the new `NoDims` type.
