numfmt: fix isblank() usage for some unibyte locales
* src/numfmt.c (simple_strtod_int): Replace isdigit() with c_isdigit() to avoid locale concerns and -Wchar-subscripts warnings on cygwin. Remove the now redundant locale guard. (simple_strtod_human): Cast characters to unsigned so that the promoted int value passed to isblank() is positive, allowing it to work correctly for all characters in unibyte locales. Previously character 0xA0, i.e. non-breaking space, would be misclassified for example. (process_suffixed_number): Likewise. (skip_fields): Likewise. Both issues were triggered by the -Wchar-subscripts warning on GCC 4.8.3 on cygwin, due to the is*() implementations used there, but the issue is present on all platforms defaulting to signed chars. * NEWS: Mention the bug fix.
