Description
The algorithm r.relief can not be executed since the parameters for "units" have changed from "none, meters, feet" to "intl, survey". The algorithm no longer accepts "none" as a valid input and stops working.
Unless this parameter can be made optional, it should be removed. Can it even be made optional?

(I mistakenly commented on GitHub - I moved the comment here)
As I understood the description ("With an elevation map measured in feet, the units option can be set to automatically convert meters to international feet (0.3048 meters = 1 foot) or survey feet (1200 / 3937 meters = 1 foot)."), it is now impossible to use a height map containing values in meter since one of the two parameters ("intl" or "survey") is always used?
Speaking from a cartographic point of view, the resulting picture looks fine, but from a geodetic view, the result is wrong.
(I'm referring to the "fix" in post #1).

the module needs to be split as Processing does not support optional parameters at the moment.
