Specify the unit of measurement for source and detector position #22

Currently the spec does not define what the unit of measurement is for spatial coordinates. This should at the minimium be specified in the description for any of the spatial coordinate fields.

In the future, this will be added as an editable attribute via #7.

Reviewing the nwb-schema it looks like the preferential unit of distance is the 'meter', so we should follow the same preference.
