Physical types in units could be improved

See original GitHub issue

For other contexts (specifically in astropy.coordinates, where we the Unit* representation and differential classes), it would be useful to have a concept of dimensional_unscaled units (compare to dimensionless_unscaled). But it occurred to us that this is actually a physical type! It may be that we want to make the physical types in astropy.units into objects themselves that behave like dimensional but unscaled units that cancel and combine properly.

This is still a very good idea! Also related to @nstarman’s problems with having a catalogue in which only for some objects the distance is known.
