Add macro for parsing numeric command arguments.

This helper eliminates significant amount of redundant code in command
handler functions throughout the system.  It wraps the lower-level
parse_* macros to implement a policy for reporting parse errors to the
active command context (cmd_ctx).  If errors do occur, this macro causes
the calling function to abort with the proper return code.
