[Yum-devel] PATCH: bandwidth limit option parsing

Hi all,

As discussed earlier on this yum-devel, please find attached a patch
that implements parsing for the yum.conf "bandwidth" and "throttle"
options.

I've taken in to account Michael Stenner's comments about what sort of
bandwidth values should be accepted. All bandwidth values are in
bytes/sec with an optional SI prefix. To avoid confusion the case of the
prefix is ignored. "throttle" may be a percentage (eg. "50%") or a
bytes/sec value as accepted for "bandwidth".

Valid and invalid values for the settings are documented at the top of
parseByteVal() and parseThrottle(). I will also update the yum.conf man
page to match.

Regards,
Menno
