Options to add, hide, convert, and reorder nutrition units #60

In Australia dietary information is standardised (online and on packaging examples included) so having the option to change the formatting to match would save a lot of time.

Add: Some other units may be applicable on a user by user basis. For example: Saturated and Trans fats (in addition to Total fat), Sugars, Dietary Fibre, Caffeine, Vitamins, etc.

Reorder: For example the order is ALWAYS Energy>Protein>Fat>Carbs>Sugars>Fibre>Sodium so being able to reorganise them in a settings page would allow copying the values straight over.

Convert: Energy in Australia is often showed in kilojoules and only is sometimes converted to calories on the packaging, 1 calorie is 4.184 Kilojoules so having an option that switches the input to the opposite unit and does the math would save a lot of time.

Hide: Cholesterol is not included on these nutritional fact sheets so having the option to hide this section would clean the interface.
