In order to prevent users from creating a network topology
strategy instance with invalid inputs, it's not enough to use
std::stol() on the input: a string "3abc" still returns the number '3',
but will later confuse cqlsh and other drivers, when they ask for
topology strategy details.
The error message is now more human readable, since for incorrect
numeric inputs it used to return a rather cryptic message:
ServerError: stol()
This commit fixes the issue and comes with a simple test.
