[DFDL-WG] spec bug dfdl:choiceLength says 'bytes' should use dfdl:lengthUnits

[Mike Beckerle]

for dfdl:choiceLength, the description says "Specifies the length of the
choice in bytes..." clearly this should use dfdl:lengthUnits.

We have tons of cases where byte granularity is not sufficient, and this is
hard to work around. You have to use dfdl:choiceLengthKind='implicit' and
then carefully pad the branches to the same length in bits. It's painful.
