selftests/powerpc: Parse long/unsigned long value safely
Often a file is expected to hold an integral value. Existing functions will use a C stdlib function like atoi or strtol to parse the file. These operations are error prone, with complicated error conditions (atoi returns 0 if not a number, and is undefined behaviour if not in range. strtol returns 0 if not a number, and LONG_MIN/MAX if not in range + sets errno to ERANGE).
