Another nice side effect: you are also getting rid of poor handling that
fails to check for errors after strtoll() (such as clamping at INT64_MAX
on EOVERFLOW).  On the other hand, strtosz_suffix uses strtod() which
may inadvertently cause rounding of low-order bits of large input
numbers (that is, parsing with only 53 significant bits instead of 64
may cause us to round a value that was previously exact); but I'd rather
deal with consistent behavior even if it rounds some values, than
question which of multiple slightly different implementations will be
parsing my values (we can also argue that perhaps strtosz_suffix could
be improved to guarantee 64 bits of precision if there is no '.' in the
value being parsed, while still providing the flexibility of 0.5G
parsing when precision isn't important).
