Added the change to the documentation and added error checking on `strtol`, 
according to the stdlib documentation.

The documentation for `strtol` says that on error, 0 is returned. This makes it 
impossible to specify a window handle of 0 (the whole desktop), but that case 
is already covered by the "desktop" input filename, so it should be fine.


x11grab can capture windows by their ID, but gdigrab can only capture windows 
by their names, internally calling FindWindowW to lookup its handle.

This patch simply allows the user to specify a window handle directly.

 The first option will capture the entire desktop, or a fixed region of the
