There is a need in some utilities to have a way of accepting both
types of decimal points "." and ",". The only way seems to be to
rebuild strtod().
This new function will accept "123.456" and "123,456" as 123.456
and considers them the same number. It means we lose thousands
separator, but this is rarely used.
test scripts are added to check the function returns the proper
values. There was simpler predecessor that got stuck on negative
0 or -0.123 which these tests flushed out.

The entire tree's polluted with inappropriate trailing
whitespace. This commit rids our environment of all of
those useless keystrokes. Unfortunately, it sure ain't
a permanent solution and requires every contributor to
instruct their editor(s) to prevent or eliminate them.
Plus it's strongly recommended we all insert something
like what's shown below to our '.gitconfig' file so as
to provide at least some warnings when we try to apply
any patches (git am) that do contain the #@!%& things!

The utility library is for functions which are shared in commands,
but that does not belong to libproc-ng. The first function is a
wrapper for strtol that performs error checking, and exists if such
happen.
