Image Properties can mess up units

Description

The legacy Image Properties command allows one to set the voxel size unit. However IJ1 maintains separate X, Y, and Z units. The Image Properties command really only changes the X unit. This can cause probems.

For instance, open Organ of Corti and see that in pixel probe X and Y both have units um. Now run Image Properties and change length unit to cm. Pixel probe now reports X in cm but Y in um.

This might be a failure of the Image Properties command to set Y and Z units to null. I will follow up with Wayne. Otherwise our MetadataHarmonizer has to get smarter.

Wayne agrees that this is his bug. Says it will be fixed in the next daily build (1.48d11) of IJ1.
