[Field formatters] provide guidance to user on bit formatting

[drewdaemon]

Describe the feature:
Right now, the way you specify a bit field format is by selecting bytes and creating a numeral.js pattern that specifies that what you really want is bits.

Could we make this more clear by providing some copy around the input or some inline documentation?

Maybe there could be a section to provide helpful examples? I assume you were working on something, could you care what was your use case? An actual example is always helpful, thx!

@kertal due to some requests around bit formatting on the Lens metric, we were evaluating adding a bit field formatter. We decided that wasn't high priority since you can already use the bytes formatter with a custom numeral.js format pattern.

However, it seemed like this workaround wasn't very clear from our UI (i.e. the user might look for a bits field formatter in the list). That's why we created this issue.

Maybe we should relabel it into something like Bits & Bytes

Not a bad idea.
