config.c: add git_env_ulong() to parse environment variable
The new function parses an integeral value that fits in unsigned
long in human readable form, i.e. possibly with unit suffix, e.g.
10k = 10240, etc., from an environment variable. Parsing of
GIT_MMAP_LIMIT and GIT_ALLOC_LIMIT will use it in later patches.
