refactor: extract CLI parser helpers, fix validation bugs

- Add set_string_option(), set_positive_int_option(), set_nonneg_int_option()
  helpers to eliminate duplicated alloc/free/assign patterns
- Replace 14 string-option branches with set_string_option() calls
- Replace 7 integer-option branches with set_positive/nonneg_int_option()
- Fix --info/--debug: replace atoi() with validated parse
- Fix --max-size/--min-size: add strtoull() error checking
- Fix --chunk-size: validate input with error message on failure
