Add Unit property to dbus interfaces

Previously, the lack of the Unit property on the Value interfaces
provided by dbus-sensors meant that readings from its sensors weren't
displayed in phosphor-webui/webui-vue.  Here it's added as an extra
parameter to setInitialProperties, allowing sensors that handle multiple
types of data (e.g. IpmbSensor, PSUSensor) to determine the appropriate
string to pass once they've had time to determine that.

Tested: PSUSensor, ADCSensor, CPUSensor, TachSensor, and HwmonTempSensor
all have an appropriate Unit property available on dbus, and are
displayed in webui-vue.

dbus-sensors

dbus-sensors is a collection of sensor applications that provide the xyz.openbmc_project.Sensor collection of interfaces. They read sensor values from hwmon, d-bus, or direct driver access to provide readings. Some advance non-sensor features such as fan presence, pwm control, and automatic cpu detection (x86) are also supported.

key features

  • runtime re-configurable from d-bus (entity-manager or the like)

  • isolated: each sensor type is isolated into its own daemon, so a bug in one sensor is unlikely to affect another, and single sensor modifications are possible

  • async single-threaded: uses sdbusplus/asio bindings

  • multiple data inputs: hwmon, d-bus, direct driver access
