We have several limitations and bugs worth fixing; they are
inter-related enough that it is not worth splitting this patch into
smaller pieces:

* ".5k" should work to specify 512, just as "0.5k" does
* "1.9999k" and "1." + "9"*50 + "k" should both produce the same
   result of 2048 after rounding
* "1." + "0"*350 + "1B" should not be treated the same as "1.0B";
   underflow in the fraction should not be lost
* "7.99e99" and "7.99e999" look similar, but our code was doing a
   read-out-of-bounds on the latter because it was not expecting ERANGE
   due to overflow. While we document that scientific notation is not
   supported, and the previous patch actually fixed
   qemu_strtod_finite() to no longer return ERANGE overflows, it is
   easier to pre-filter than to try and determine after the fact if
   strtod() consumed more than we wanted.  Note that this is a
   low-level semantic change (when endptr is not NULL, we can now
   successfully parse with a scale of 'E' and then report trailing
   junk, instead of failing outright with EINVAL); but an earlier
   commit already argued that this is not a high-level semantic change
   since the only caller passing in a non-NULL endptr also checks that
   the tail is whitespace-only.

v2: more changes, handle negatives differently, catch fractions that
round to 0 but don't underflow [Hanna]
