The atoi() function does not perform error checking, which can lead to
undefined behavior when parsing invalid or out-of-range strings. This
can cause issues when parsing user-provided numerical inputs, such as
signal numbers, PIDs, or CPU lists.

To address this, introduce a new strtoi() helper function that safely
converts a string to an integer. This function validates the input and
checks for overflows, returning a negative value on  failure.

Replace all calls to atoi() with the new strtoi() function and add
proper error handling to make the parsing more robust and prevent
potential issues.
