Deprecate zend_atol() / add zend_ini_parse_quantity() (#7951)

Add zend_ini_parse_quantity() and deprecate zend_atol(), zend_atoi()

zend_atol() and zend_atoi() don't just do number parsing.
They also check for a 'K', 'M', or 'G' at the end of the string,
and multiply the parsed value out accordingly.

Unfortunately, they ignore any other non-numerics between the
numeric component and the last character in the string.
This means that numbers such as the following are both valid
and non-intuitive in their final output.

* "123KMG" is interpreted as "123G" -> 132070244352
* "123G " is interpreted as "123 " -> 123
* "123GB" is interpreted as "123B" -> 123
* "123 I like tacos." is also interpreted as "123." -> 123

Currently, in php-src these functions are used only for parsing ini values.

In this change we deprecate zend_atol(), zend_atoi(), and introduce a new
function with the same behavior, but with the ability to report invalid inputs
to the caller. The function's name also makes the behavior less unexpected:
zend_ini_parse_quantity().
