[PATCH v2 05/61] net/null: use kvargs numeric helpers

The three device argument handlers each convert with strtoul() and
check neither errno nor the end pointer, so "size=foo" is silently
taken as zero and "size=99999999999999999999" as ULONG_MAX truncated
to unsigned int. The checks for UINT_MAX that follow only catch the
truncated overflow case on a 32 bit build.
A zero packet size was accepted, and the value is later cast to the
16 bit mbuf data length, so anything above 65535 was silently
truncated. Convert with an explicit 1..UINT16_MAX range instead.
The copy and no-rx arguments are booleans, so store them as bool and
use rte_kvargs_handle_bool. This also means they now accept the word
forms such as "copy=on", not only 0 and 1.
While here, set an error code when copy and no-rx are both given.
The error was logged but the zero return from the last successful
rte_kvargs_process() was returned, so probe reported success without
ever creating the device.
The booleans use rte_kvargs_process_opt(), so that a bare key with no
value enables the option.
