core: support IEC suffixes for RLIMIT stuff
Let's make things more user-friendly and support for example LimitAS=16G rather than force users to always use LimitAS=16106127360. The change is relevant for options: [Default]Limit{FSIZE,DATA,STACK,CORE,RSS,AS,MEMLOCK,MSGQUEUE} The patch introduces config_parse_bytes_limit(), it's the same as config_parse_limit() but uses parse_size() tu support the suffixes.
