fix(rpn): clarify nm/nanometer comment in metric_builtin.go
The original comment misleadingly suggested that nanometers could be added as 'nm' in a separate metric registration, but 'nm' is already registered as the nautical mile abbreviation. Reword to clarify that nanometer support is intentionally excluded and suggest scientific notation as the alternative.
