The status messages where lacking fields for machine units. Instead
there have been unit scales for linear, angular and per axis. This was
replaced by machine unit enums. It is required that values are sent and
received in metric units in order to make unit conversion easy.
Since the relevant message ids in the messages have not changed the changes
are backward compatible with older machinetalk-protobuf version. It is very likely
patch and the corresponding counterpart in mkwrapper fixes problems on machines
with imperial units that where related to values being sent in machine units. Especially
metric machines will no be affected by this patch at all.
