bpf: Introduce bpf_strtol and bpf_strtoul helpers

Add bpf_strtol and bpf_strtoul to convert a string to long and unsigned
long correspondingly. It's similar to user space strtol(3) and
strtoul(3) with a few changes to the API:

* instead of NUL-terminated C string the helpers expect buffer and
  buffer length;

* resulting long or unsigned long is returned in a separate
  result-argument;

* return value is used to indicate success or failure, on success number
  of consumed bytes is returned that can be used to identify position to
  read next if the buffer is expected to contain multiple integers;

* instead of *base* argument, *flags* is used that provides base in 5
  LSB, other bits are reserved for future use;

* number of supported bases is limited.

Documentation for the new helpers is provided in bpf.h UAPI.

The helpers are made available to BPF_PROG_TYPE_CGROUP_SYSCTL programs to
be able to convert string input to e.g. "ulongvec" output.

E.g. "net/ipv4/tcp_mem" consists of three ulong integers. They can be
parsed by calling to bpf_strtoul three times.

Implementation notes:

Implementation includes "../../lib/kstrtox.h" to reuse integer parsing
functions. It's done exactly same way as fs/proc/base.c already does.

Unfortunately existing kstrtoX function can't be used directly since
they fail if any invalid character is present right after integer in the
string. Existing simple_strtoX functions can't be used either since
they're obsolete and don't handle overflow properly.
