tool_getparam: Support size modifiers for --max-filesize
- Move the size modifier detection code from limit-rate to its own
function so that it can also be used with max-filesize.
Size modifiers are the suffixes such as G (gigabyte), M (megabyte) etc.
For example --max-filesize 1G

This concerns both FTP and HTTP transfers. |
