Adding Beaufort as a UnitSpeed #563

Open alpennec opened 6 months ago

Currently, UnitSpeed offers the following units: milesPerHour, kilometersPerHour, metersPerSecond and knots.

What do you think about adding Beaufort to this list of supported units?

It's a widely used unit for wind and I'm sure it could be really useful for many weather apps. The Apple Weather app supports this unit too (see attachment below).

Well maybe this can't work: it's not possible to convert from a Beaufort to a given speed because a Beaufort is a range of speeds. So only the speed to Beaufort would be possible.
