Return `None` was the old behavior?
Or is a new option?

 * ``_foundation`` has been renamed to ``_util``, and a lot of functions which were not being
   used anymore have been removed.
 * Add new unit category mass temperature per mol (``kg.K/mol``).
+* Some units have been renamed as they were deemed out-of-place in the oil industry to something more usual (for example, ``1000ft3/d`` became ``Mcf/d``).
+  The old representation of those units is still supported, but they will be automatically translated during ``Quantity`` creation, so this change should not affect users much.

Review units to use traditional Petroleum Engineering format
### Description

In the unit database, there are several units with the following format:

- `1000ft3/d`, `1000m3/d`, etc.
- `M(ft3)/d`, `M(m3)/d`, etc.

But the conventional format used in the petroleum industry is:

- `Mcf/d`, `Mm3/d`, etc.
- `MMcf/d`, `MMm3/d`, etc.

where the prefix `M` is equivalent to multiplying by `1000`.

The idea of this task is to convert the legacy format to the conventional one. This should be as transparent as possible for `barril` users in the sense that they should not be affected when working with the legacy format.
