lib/string_helpers: Introduce parse_int_array_user()

Browse Source 
Add new helper function to allow for splitting specified user string
into a sequence of integers. Internally it makes use of get_options() so
the returned sequence contains the integers extracted plus an additional
element that begins the sequence and specifies the integers count.
