    util: fix out of bounds read in error message When an integer that is parsed with `git__strntol32` is too big to fit into an int32, we will generate an error message that includes the actual string that failed to parse. This does not acknowledge the fact that the string may either not be NUL terminated or alternative include additional characters after the number that is to be parsed. We may thus end up printing characters into the buffer that aren't the number or, worse, read out of bounds. Fix the issue by utilizing the `endptr` that was set by `git__strntol64`. This pointer is guaranteed to be set to the first character following the number, and we can thus use it to compute the width of the number that shall be printed. Create a test to verify that we correctly truncate the number.
