This function parses *sizes*. Necessarily non-negative. It returns
them as int64_t. Fine for sizes up to 2^63-1 bytes.

Why does that user require sizes in [2^63..2^64-1]?

That check tests something else, namely "no junk follows the number".
You cannot put that test into strtosz_suffix_unit(), because different
callers accept numbers in different contexts.
