The patch below updates the Calc units table.
The latest CODATA adjustment was for 2018. Not sure if we could instead
wait for publication of the 2022 adjustment; it may be too late to make
it for the 30.1 release. (If it would have a similar delay as for 2018,
then the 2022 values would be published in 2025.)
I've also collected the SI defining constants in their own category,
and updated some spellings (because BIPM, CODATA, and NIST all say
"Planck constant", "Boltzmann constant", etc.).
Please review.

Subject: [PATCH] Update Calc units table
* lisp/calc/calc-units.el (math-standard-units): Update to 2018
CODATA adjustment. Use exact value for V0. Update some spellings,
e.g. "Planck constant" instead of "Planck's constant".
