emacs: Change the default thousands separator to a space
This had been discussed and decided on IRC.
Rationale:
Therefore the space is recommended in the SI/ISO 31-0 standard, and the
International Bureau of Weights and Measures states that "for numbers with
many digits the digits may be divided into groups of three by a thin space, in
order to facilitate reading. Neither dots nor commas are inserted in the
spaces between groups of three".
