Allow selection of metric measures for distance (Internationalisation / Internationalization)

Group

There are currently options, mainly ralated to mapping features where distances are calculated and displayed to the user. At present these appear to be hardcoded for imperial measures e.g. miles versus kilometers. As part of the broader internationalisation / internationalization of Rock, having options to adjust metric measures for distance to be either metric or imperial as is appropriate would be very useful. Whilst a quick fix would be to just rewrite the specific blocks to use the metric system, a better approach would be to consider a global attribute or defined type that details the unit (s) of measure to utilise and then appropriately adjust the calculation to suit the selected units of measure.
