sscanf/strtoul: parse integers robustly

From: Jim Meyering <hidden>
Date: 2016-06-15 22:43:03

* builtin-grep.c (strtoul_ui): Move function definition from here, to...
* git-compat-util.h (strtoul_ui): ...here, with an added "base" parameter.
* builtin-grep.c (cmd_grep): Update use of strtoul_ui to include base, "10".
* builtin-update-index.c (read_index_info): Diagnose an invalid mode integer
that is out of range or merely larger than INT_MAX.
(cmd_update_index): Use strtoul_ui, not sscanf.
* convert-objects.c (write_subdirectory): Likewise.

[PATCH] fix up strtoul_ui error handling

From: Andy Whitcroft <hidden>
Date: 2016-06-15 22:43:05

Two scanf() calls were converted to strtoul_ui() but the return
values were not updated to match.  scanf() returns the number of
matched "values" which for this usage is 1 on success.  strtoul_ui()
return 0 on success.  Update these call sites to match.

	Without this patch svnimport fails to add files as
	update-index --cacheinfo fails.
