[PATCH 2/3] config: require at least one digit when parsing numbers

Message-ID
<cd753602e48a2faa0d59edca2f6fab0fe753f0f6.1666359915.git.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>

From: Phillip Wood <phillip.wood@dunelm.org.uk>

If the input to strtoimax() or strtoumax() does not contain any digits then they return zero and set `end` to point to the start of the input string. git_parse_[un]signed() do not check `end` and so fail to return an error and instead return a value of zero if the input string is a valid units factor without any digits (e.g "k").
