libpayload: strtoull: Fix edge case bug with *endptr
strtoull() can optionally take a second pointer as an out-parameter that will be adjusted to point to the end of the parsed string. This works almost right, but misses two important edge cases: firstly,when the parsed string is "0", the function will interpret the leading '0' as an octal prefix, so that the first actually parsed digit is already the terminating '\0' byte. This will cause the function to early abort, which still (correctly) returns 0 but doesn't adjust *endptr. The early abort is pointless anyway -- the only other thing the function does is run a for-loop whose condition is the exact inverse (so it's guaranteed to run zero iterations in this case) and then adjust *endptr (which we want). So just take it out. This also technically corrects the behavior of *endptr for a completely invalid string, since the strtoull man page says > If there were no digits at all, strtoul() stores the original value of > nptr in *endptr (and returns 0). The second issue occurs when the parsed string is "0x" without another valid digit behind it. In this case, we will still jump over the 0x prefix so that *endptr is set to the first byte after that. The correct interpretation in this case is that there is no 0x prefix, and instead a valid 0 digit with the 'x' being invalid garbage at the end. By not skipping the prefix unless there's at least one valid digit after it, we get the correct behavior of *endptr pointing to the 'x'.
