Research direction

Start by locating the existing filter implementations and their tests in this C++ template engine, then compare their conventions with the linked Jinja2 specification. Implement the filesizeformat behavior for decimal prefixes and the optional binary-prefix mode, and add or update tests showing human-readable output for both modes.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

enhancement hacktoberfest help wanted

Implement 'filesizeformat' filter according to the jinja2 specification:

Format the value like a ‘human-readable’ file size (i.e. 13 kB, 4.1 MB, 102 Bytes, etc). Per default decimal prefixes are used (Mega, Giga, etc.), if the second parameter is set to True the binary prefixes are used (Mebi, Gibi).
