[PATCH v3 2/2] patch-id: replace `atoi()` with `strtol_i_updated()`

Message-ID
<0e117198d0144fa4ee6ccf01ec31a099eaf8121c.1706078885.git.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>
In-Reply-To
<pull.1646.v3.git.1706078885.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>
From: Mohit Marathe <mohitmarathe23@gmail.com>

The change is made to improve the error-handling capabilities during the conversion of string representations to integers. The `strtol_i_updated(` function offers a more robust mechanism for converting strings to integers by providing enhanced error detection. Unlike `atoi(`, `strtol_i_updated(` allows the code to differentiate between a valid conversion and an invalid one, offering better resilience against potential issues such as reading hunk header of a corrupted patch.
