[PATCH v4 1/2] git-compat-util: add strtol_i_updated()

["Mohit Marathe via GitGitGadget" <gitgitgadget@gmail.com>]

From: Mohit Marathe <mohitmarathe23@gmail.com>

This function is an updated version of strtol_i() function. It will
give more control to handle parsing of the characters after the
integer and better error handling while parsing numbers.
