config: rename parse_logsize to be more generic

Rename config_parse_logsize to config_parse_bytesize.
A more generic name allows this function to be reused in other
config parsing purposes.

To Build

To build this project, run the following shell commands:

meson setup build
meson compile -C build

To test:

meson test -C build

To Run Server

Running the server requires a serial port (e.g. /dev/ttyS0):

touch obmc-console.conf
./obmc-console-server --config obmc-console.conf ttyS0

To Connect Client

To connect to the server, simply run the client:

./obmc-console-client

To disconnect the client, use the standard ~. combination.

Underlying design

This shows how the host UART connection is abstracted within the BMC as a Unix domain socket.

This supports multiple independent consoles. The console-id is a unique portion for the unix domain socket created by the obmc-console-server instance. The server needs to know this because it needs to know what to name the pipe; the client needs to know it as it needs to form the abstract socket name to which to connect.
