http.c: introduce `set_long_from_env()` for convenience

In 7059cd99fc (http_init(): Fix config file parsing, 2009-03-09), http.c
gained a new "set_from_env()" function as a convenience function around
conditionally assigning an environment variable to some variable if and
only if the environment variable was set to begin with.

But prior to 7059cd99fc, there were two spots which need to first
strtol() whatever is set in the environment before assigning it to a
long pointer. Both instances stored the result of getenv() in a
temporary variable, and conditionally strtol() it depending on whether
or not getenv() returned NULL.

Replace those two instances with a new cousin of 'set_from_env()' called
'set_long_from_env()', which does what its name suggests. This allows us
to remove the temporary variables and clean up some minor code
duplication while also adding more robust error handling.

More importantly, however, it prepares us for a future commit which will
introduce more instances of assigning an environment variable to a long.
