Programatically extract units from LEMS file for use with normalizing simulation output #127

The backends have no way of knowing what the units are (either their dimensions or their magnitudes) and so right now some guesses are hardcoded into the sections of the code that extract the results from the simulation. This might cause problems if these units are changed in the simulation, for example if people use mV instead of V, or change the timestep. See the discussion here.
