tst_test: Add option parsing helpers.

Add two helpers for parsing integers and floats, these are intended to
be used in the test setup to parse options from struct tst_option.

static char *str_threads;
static int threads;
...

static struct tst_option options[] = {
	{"t:", &str_threads, "Number of threads"},
	...
	{NULL, NULL, NULL}
};

static void setup(void)
{
	if (tst_parse_int(str_threads, &threads, 1, INT_MAX))
		tst_brk(TBROK, "Invalid number of threads '%s'", str_threads);

	...
}

+Both return zero on success and 'errno', mostly 'EINVAL' or 'ERANGE', on

+Both functions are no-op if 'str' is 'NULL'.
