BUG/MINOR: config: Reinforce validity check when a process number is parsed

Now, in the function parse_process_number(), when a process number or a set of
processes is parsed, an error is triggered if an invalid character is found. It
means following syntaxes are not forbidden and will emit an alert during the
HAProxy startup:

  1a
  1/2
  1-2-3

This bug was reported on Github. See issue #36.

This patch may be backported to 1.9 and 1.8.
