Hallöchen!

I suggest two renamings of unit abbreviations in calc-units.el, in
the attached patch.

"pt" should become "pint" in order to make room for the typographic
point (pt).  I think this is more practical since the latter is much
more significant for calc usage, and its current abbreviation "tpt"
isn't used outside calc.

Secondly, "point" should be renamed "bp" (big point).  It's not
*the* point after all (but an invention by Adobe, as far as I know).

Tschö,
Torsten.
