[UDUNITS #AKI-804770]: Support for 'ppv' unit

Well... you can *always* add additional, non-"official" units to the database.
I'd recommend creating the file "udunits2-local.xml" and importing it in the
file "udunits2.xml". The new units just won't be in the official distribution.

I'll take a look.
