Description
Split out from #652. Some applications benefit from relative uncertainty, where the first value is factored out to create the form
val \times (1 \pm rel_uncertainty), or with exponentials
val.xxxx \times (1 \pm rel_uncertainty) \times 10^{exponent}.
If uncertainty-mode had another option relative that formatted in this manner, that would be nice!

Research direction
Start by reading issue #652 and the existing uncertainty-mode behavior in the siunitx package. Define the relative formatting cases described here, including the factored-value and exponential forms; done means uncertainty-mode accepts a relative option and produces those forms consistently.
