Making callers determine whether or not *value was populated on error
is not nice for usability. Pre-patch, we have unit tests that check
that *result is left unchanged on most EINVAL errors and set to 0 on
many ERANGE errors. This is subtly different from libc strtoumax()
behavior which returns UINT64_MAX on ERANGE errors, as well as
different from our parse_uint() which slams to 0 on EINVAL on the
grounds that we want our functions to be harder to mis-use than
strtoumax().
Let's audit callers:
- hw/core/numa.c:parse_numa() fixed in the previous patch to check for
errors
- migration/migration-hmp-cmds.c:hmp_migrate_set_parameter(),
monitor/hmp.c:monitor_parse_arguments(),
qapi/opts-visitor.c:opts_type_size(),
qapi/qobject-input-visitor.c:qobject_input_type_size_keyval(),
qemu-img.c:cvtnum_full(), qemu-io-cmds.c:cvtnum(),
target/i386/cpu.c:x86_cpu_parse_featurestr(), and
util/qemu-option.c:parse_option_size() appear to reject all failures
(although some with distinct messages for ERANGE as opposed to
EINVAL), so it doesn't matter what is in the value parameter on
error.
- All remaining callers are in the testsuite, where we can tweak our
expectations to match our new desired behavior.
Advancing to the end of the string parsed on overflow (ERANGE), while
still returning 0, makes sense (UINT64_MAX as a size is unlikely to be
useful); likewise, our size parsing code is complex enough that it's
easier to always return 0 when endptr is NULL but trailing garbage was
found, rather than trying to return the value of the prefix actually
parsed (no current caller cared about the value of the prefix).

v2: cutils.c unchanged, but rebasing test suite is significant enough
that I doropped Hanna's R-b
