savecore: fix space calculation with respect to `minfree` in check_space(..)
- Use strtoll(3) instead of atoi(3), because atoi(3) limits the representable data to INT_MAX. Check the values received from strtoll(3), trimming trailing whitespace off the end to maintain POLA. - Use `KiB` instead of `kB` when describing free space, total space, etc. I am now fully aware of `KiB` being the IEC standard for 1024 bytes and `kB` being the IEC standard for 1000 bytes. - Store available number of KiB in `available` so it can be more easily queried and compared to ensure that there are enough KiB to store the dump image on disk. - Print out the reserved space on disk, per `minfree`, so end-users can troubleshoot why check_space(..) is reporting that there isn't enough free space.
Tested with: positive/negative cases (see review); make tinderbox
r316953:
Switch back to non-IEC units for 1024 bytes
I was swayed a little too quickly when I saw the wiki page discussing kB vs KiB. Switch back as none of the code in base openly uses IEC units via humanize_number(3) (which was my next step), and there's a large degree of dislike with IEC vs more SI-like units.
