[PATCH] perf tools: New function to parse string representing size in bytes

[Hitoshi Mitake]

This patch modifies util/string.[ch] to add new function: bytesexp2int()
to parse string representing size in bytes.

Below is the description of bytesexp2int().

Parse (\d+)(b|B|kb|KB|mb|MB|gb|GB) (e.g. "256MB")
and return its numeric value. (e.g. 268435456)

The parameter str is not changed before and after calling,
but it changed temporally and internally for atoi().
So type of str is char *, not const char *.
