Add Unit Constants Library to SDK

[kylebrandt]

What would you like to be added:

Make https://github.com/grafana/grafana/blob/master/packages/grafana-data/src/valueFormats/categories.ts#L24 available as Go constants in a pacakage. These can then be used for consistent referencing.

[ryantxu]

looks good -- but we need the id, and the name as a comment?

// ${format.name}
${name}_${format.id} = "${format.id}"

// duration (hh:mm:ss)
Time_dthms = "dthms"

Want to think about it some more.

Some of these end up repeating the Category etc, for now something to play with.
