[pacman-dev] [PATCH 1/3] paccache: allow strictly integer for -k option

Verify the argument to -k is a non-negative integer.  Leading zeros
are simply tripped.

'declare -i keep' allowed the argument to -k to be any arithmetic
evaluation expression.  The simple assignment 'keep=$OPTARG' triggers
arithmetic evaluation implicitly, which can either consume a huge amount
of resources with input such as '2**2**32' or immediately produce an error
on invalid input.  Instead, we simply 'declare -- keep' and avoid all that.
