Add safe_strtoint() helper

Adds a safe strtol helper function, modeled loosely after Wayland
scanner's strtouint.  This encapsulates the various quirks of strtol
behavior, and streamlines the interface to just handling base-10 numbers
with a simple true/false error indicator and a uint32_t return by
reference.

Test cases are loosely derived from an earlier patch by Imran Zaman.
