Parameter display in engineering notation #1479

Description

@goscickiw

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Currently parameter values are only displayed in scientific notation, which is not as easy to immediately convert to a value with SI prefix.

Describe the solution you'd like
It would be useful to be able to configure how the numbers should be displayed, specifically being able to display using engineering notation instead of scientific, as engineering notation directly corresponds to SI prefixes.

It would be even better to display the parameters as described in #598 , but engineering notation might be easier or quicker to implement.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Maybe I can manually modify something in Part-DB files until such a feature is added?

Additional context
For example, when I see 22e-6, I immediately know that it is 22u, without having to recall which way to move the decimal point. When written as 2.2e-5 as in the attached image it's not as immediately clear.
