fix faulty string to int conversion utilities

Probably it was expected that errno is set to EINVAL when illegal characters are encountered. But this is not standard and does not happen on every system, allowing illegal strings to be parsed as valid integers.

title: 'dav set-property'

**`dav set-property [-pc] [-L <lock>] [-n <uri>] <url> <property> [value]`**

Sets a resource property to the specified value.

*property* is a property name with or without prefix (see [get-property][1] for details).

To store an xml value, use the **`-x`** option. The specified value must be a valid xml document. All nodes below the root element are stored as the property value.

[1]: ./get-property.html

If no value is specified, the content for the property is read from stdin.

**`-p`** disable file name and path decryption if enabled

**`-c`** enable file name and path decryption

**`-x`** store an xml value

**`-L <lock>`** use a lock token. See [dav lock][1]

**`-n <uri>`** specify property namespace

**Note:** Properties are never encrypted.
