To convert strings with time suffixes to numbers, support time unit are
"ns" for nanosecond, "us" for microsecond, "ms" for millisecond or "s"
for second. Add test for qemu_strtotime_ns, test the input of basic,
time suffixes, float, invaild, trailing and overflow.

Changes in v14:
    - Reuse the codes of do_strtosz to build qemu_strtotime_ns
      (Eduardo)
    - Squash patch v13 01/12 and 02/12 together (Daniel and Eduardo)
    - Drop time unit picosecond (Eric)

Suggestion for the next version: if you are refactoring existing
do_strtosz() code, please refactor it in one patch, and add new
functionality in another patch.

This is better than the test case in v13, where trailing strings
were not handled consistently.  Good.

Is the strlen(endptr) check here really necessary?

[1] You can use ARRAY_SIZE(suffixes) instead of hardcoding the
array size.

Same as above[1].

Thank you for your suggestions and comments blew. I will improve in next
