Let's define two helpers strdupa_safe() + strndupa_safe() which do the
same as their non-safe counterparts, except that they abort if called
with allocations larger than ALLOCA_MAX.
This should ensure that all our alloca() based allocations are subject
to this limit.
afaics glibc offers three alloca() based APIs: alloca() itself,
strndupa() + strdupa(). With this we have now replacements for all of
them, that take the limit into account.
Previously, when parsing myriads, we'd support:
x% → percent, no places after the dot
x.yz% → percent, two places after the dot
x‰ → permille, no places after the dot
x.y‰ → permille, one place after the dot
x‱ → permyriad, no places after the dot
What's missing is:
x.y% → percent, one place after the dot
Let's add it in.
A good chunk of parse-util.[ch] has been about parsing parts per
hundred/thousand/ten-thousand. Let's split that out into its own file.
No code changes, just some shuffling around.
