From: Kyle Lippincott <spectral@google.com>

To detect conversion failure after calls to functions like `strtod`, one can check `errno == ERANGE`. These functions are not guaranteed to set `errno` to `0` on successful conversion, however. Manual manipulation of `errno` can likely be avoided by checking that the output pointer differs from the input pointer, but that's not how other locations, such as parse.c:139, handle this issue; they set errno to 0 prior to executing the function.

For every place I could find a strtoX function with an ERANGE check following it, set `errno = 0;` prior to executing the conversion function.
