timeout: treat seconds counts like 'sleep' does
Treat fractions as a request to round up to the next representable
value, and treat out-of-range values as maximal ones. This is
consistent with how "sleep" works. And this way, "timeout
999999999999999999d FOO" and "timeout 4.5 foo" are more likely to
do what the user wants.
* src/timeout.c: Include c-strtod.h and xstrtod.h, not xstrtol.h.
(apply_time_suffix): Change it to the way sleep.c's time_suffix
does things. Maybe this function (identical in both programs,
other than its name) should be moved to a library?
(parse_duration): Return a maximal value on overflow. Return
unsigned int, not unsigned long. Allow fractions, which round
up to the next integer value.
* tests/misc/timeout-parameters: Adjust tests to match new behavior.
Add a very large number.
