Add LinearDensity.GramPerFoot and prefixes

lipchev commented 5 months ago

Not sure why the build is failing- but regardless, I think that mixing the two unit systems like that is a bad idea.

Also, I can already see that there is a small rounding error being introduced by putting in the ~ result of 1/0.3048. For reference, here is how I've defined the PoundPerFoot in the upcoming PR that fixes these issues:

    {
      "SingularName": "PoundPerFoot",
      "PluralName": "PoundsPerFoot",
      "FromUnitToBaseFunc": "{x} * 0.45359237 / 0.3048",
      "FromBaseToUnitFunc": "{x} * 0.3048 / 0.45359237",
      "Localization": [
        {
          "Culture": "en-US",
          "Abbreviations": [ "lb/ft" ]
        }
      ]
    }

I expected that one and said as much too my colleague :) In our industry it is used in practice though, that's why we would like to have it added.

I'm seeing many references to this unit on google, so for me I'm fine adding it.

@filusma Can you improve the precision per @lipchev 's recommendation?
