When we are parsing integers for config, we use an intmax_t
(or uintmax_t) internally, and then check against the size
of our result type at the end. We can parameterize the
maximum representable value, which will let us re-use the
parsing code for a variety of range checks.

Unfortunately, we cannot combine the signed and unsigned
parsing functions easily, as we have to rely on the signed
and unsigned C types internally.
