Make our 'ascii_strtod()' helper more generic

We'll want to do sane parsing of strings, but the C library makes it
hard to handle user input sanely and the Qt toDouble() function
interface was designed by a retarded chipmunk.

So just extend our existing hacky "ascii_strtod()" to allow a more
generic interface.
