getdigits: introduce strict, def parameters

Problem:
During a refactor long ago, we changed the `getdigits_*` familiy of
functions to abort on overflow.  But this is often wrong, because many
of these codepaths are handling user input.

Solution:
Decide at each call-site whether to use "strict" mode.

fix #5555
