parse_unit_factor() checks if a K, M or G is present after a number and
multiplies it by 2^10, 2^20 or 2^30, respectively. One of its callers
checks if the result is smaller than the number alone to detect
overflows. The other one passes 1 as the number and does multiplication
and overflow check itself in a similar manner.
This works, but is inconsistent, and it would break if we added support
for a bigger unit factor. E.g. 16777217T is 2^64 + 2^40, i.e. too big
for a 64-bit number. Modulo 2^64 we get 2^40 == 1TB, which is bigger
than the raw number
16777217 == 2^24 + 1, so the overflow would go
undetected by that method.
Let both callers pass 1 and handle overflow check and multiplication
themselves. Do the check before the multiplication, using
unsigned_mult_overflows, which is simpler and can deal with larger unit
factors.
