cutils: Set value in all integral qemu_strto* error paths
Our goal in writing qemu_strtoi() and friends is to have an interface harder to abuse than libc's strtol(). Leaving the return value uninitialized on some but not all error paths does not lend itself well to this goal; and our documentation wasn't helpful on what to expect. Note that the previous patch changed all qemu_strtosz() EINVAL error paths to slam value to 0 rather than stay uninitialized, even when the EINVAL eror occurs because of trailing junk. But for the remaining integral qemu_strto*, it's easier to return the parsed value than to force things back to zero, in part because of how check_strtox_error works; in part because people expect that from libc strto* (while there is no libc strtosz to compare to), and in part because doing so creates less churn in the testsuite. Here, the list of affected callers is much longer ('git grep "qemu_strto[ui]" "*.c" "**/*.c" | grep -v tests/ |wc -l' outputs 107, although a few of those are the implementation in in cutils.c), so touching as little as possible is the wisest course of action.
