There shouldn't be a need for this macro, we already have `strtoumax()`.
And in case the platform doesn't provide it we know to provide our own
implementation.

Error messages should start with a lower-case letter.

Here, too.

I feel like most of the changes are adapting formatting directives like
this. Might be worthwhile to separate into a standalone commit. That'd
also allow the commit message to read less like a list of bullet points
and provide more context, explaining the actual change.

This change feels completely unrelated to all the other changes. It
would probably warrant a new commit.

Hm. A couple of comments:

  - The function name doesn't match the schema of function names we
    already have. I would rather have expected it to be called something
    like `strtouz()` or something like that.

  - We tend to avoid using `strtoul()` and friends directly, as they are
    really hard to get right. See the implementation of `strtoul_ui()`
    for all the checks we do there.

  - The way the macro is implemented feels quite fragile.

So I'd propose to adapt the approach a bit and introduce a new function
`strtoumax_ui()`:

    static inline int strtoumax_ui(char *const *s, int base, unsigned
                                   uintmax_t max, int *result);

The implementation would mostly follow what we have in `strotul_ui()`.
The `max` parameter here could be used to control the maximum that the
caller expects -- if the parsed integer exceeds it, it would return an
error and set `ERANGE`. If we had such a helper, we can then also
reimplement `strtoul_ui()` on top of that function with a simple call to
`strtoumax_ui(s, base, UINT_MAX, result)`.

This would overall be a lot more flexible than what we currently have.
