avoid label collision in scalebar

[Bart van den Eijnden (OSGIS)]

For my use case only the third option would solve it. I have overlaps 
when displaying 0.4 and 0.6 km for instance, so changing to meters will 
make it worse, and the precision if as low as it goes.

But then again, I can just reduce the number of intervals for now I guess.

Thanks for the idea Steve, though some enhancement in this area would be 
nice ofcourse :-)

Best regards,
Bart
