Description of the new feature / enhancement

When using the Calculator/Unit Conversion plugins in PowerToys Run, a very small number can end up not showing enough numbers for the result to be accurate, and can sometimes even be misleading.

Here's an example:

This image makes it look like 1 gram is actually equal to 0 megatonnes period, instead of a very small fraction of a megatonne.

.
Ideally, very small results would always display 0.00000.... something. It DOES cutoff the digits sometimes like here:

But it would be nice to have the option in the Calculator/Unit Conversion plugins to set how many digits should be displayed before cutting off the result.

Scenario when this would be used?

I often deal with small numbers, so this can be a problem for my calculations/unit conversions when using PowerToys Run
