Marc Hartmayer a2663ec8d3 zipl/boot: Fix unsigned long overflow
Fix two issues in boot menu input parsing:

1. ebcdic_strtoul returns unsigned long but the value was stored in an int.
2. ebcdic_strtoul could overflow if @value exceeds ULONG_MAX.

Both problems are easy to trigger by entering an excessively large value
in the boot menu, which can lead to unsigned long overflow and memory
corruption.

Use a checked addition to prevent overflow and change menu_read() return
type to unsigned long.
