Patch looks pretty good. I just see a small spelling mistake in:

I see I must have forgotten to add PB to the docs when pg_size_pretty
had that unit added. I guess you added the "etc" to fix that? I'm
wondering if that's the right choice. You modified the comment above
size_pretty_units[] to remind us to update the docs when adding units,
but the docs now say "etc", so do we need to? I'd likely have gone
with just adding "PB" to the docs, that way it's pretty clear that new
units need to be mentioned in the docs.
