When working with vacuum instruments, Torr and millitorr are units that are very frequently used. This unit is to a high degree (was historically) equal to mmHg (see Wikipedia).
This PR adds Torr and mTorr as units of pressure with their defined conversion factors, i.e., 1 Torr = 1 atm / 760.
Also corrected a couple of typos in
pressure.rs.One question here: Would it be useful to add the correct definition of
mmHgas well? See wikipedia here?
