cli: util functions for converting string to int

nmc_string_to_int()  - converts string to signed long int (decimal)
nmc_string_to_uint() - converts string to unsigned long int (decimal)
nmc_string_to_int_base()  - converts string to signed long int with given base
nmc_string_to_uint_base() - converts string to unsigned long int with given base
