Add ifcopenshell.util.unit.mm_to_m helper

Centralises the millimetre-to-metre conversion shortcut that
add_door_representation and add_window_representation each defined
locally. Subsequent commits in this PR switch both call sites to
import this from util.unit, removing the duplicate definitions.
