TypeError when calling to_base_units() for temperature.

[biagiodistefano]

Steps to reproduce

from decimal import Decimal
from pint import UnitRegistry

ureg = UnitRegistry()

qt = ureg.Quantity(Decimal(10.0), "°C")  # <Quantity(10, 'degree_Celsius')>
qt.ito_base_units()

Causes:

TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for +: 'decimal.Decimal' and 'float'

Same with "°F".

Ideas

In ScaleConverter, scale: float, but the method to_reference() accepts value: Magnitude, and Magnitude = Union[Scalar, Array], Scalar: TypeAlias = Union[float, int, Decimal, Fraction].

My suggestion would be: instead of using self.offset for the operations in the methods, use a typecasted version of it that matches value's type.

If you find this okay, I will make a PR as soon as I have time.

For now the workaround is to just pass float instead of decimal when working with temperature units.

EDIT: scale -> offset

you need to use
ureg = UnitRegistry(non_int_type=Decimal)
