[PATCH wayland] wl_strtol and wl_strtoul utility functions are added (inlined patch)

[Bill Spitzak]

You might be able to remove the base argument, is anybody using that? 
That would remove confusion over which is the base and return argument

Also it seems like calling code would be easier to read with a version 
that returns the value but puts the error into errno. Something like this:

    value = wl_strtol (string, NULL);
    if (errno) { string_was_bad (); }

Of course that means it is easier to ignore errors.

In general the idea seems good. Is there any precedent for such 
functions, maybe one already exists?
