The current code silently ignores characters after the unit as long
the unit themselves were recognized. This commit makes expand_number(3)
to fail with EINVAL if buf did not terminate after the unit character.
Historically, the function accepts and ignores "B" as a SI unit, this
behavior is preserved and e.g. KB, MB are still accepted as aliases of
K and M, document this behavior in the manual page.
While I am there, also write a few test cases to validate the behavior.
