ar: read_num(): fix reading fields using the entire width
ar fields are fixed length text strings (padded with spaces). Ensure
bb_strtou doesn't read past the field in case the full width is used.
The fields are only read once, so the simplest/smallest solution to me
seems to be to just pass the length to read_num() and then zero terminate
the string before passing it to bb_strtou. This does mean that the fields
MUST be read in reverse order, so some minor reshuffling was needed.
Bloat-o-meter:
function old new delta
get_header_ar 394 414 +20
read_num 29 36 +7
