Allow to specify size in terabytes by using T or t suffix.
This speeds up my testing a bit. Because truncate(1) doesn't allocate
blocks on file system before they are used, it is very useful to
emulate huge file systems:
# truncate -s 16T fs.img
# mdconfig -a -f fs.img
# newfs /dev/mdX
(-t swap can be used as well)
