config: Make parameter conversion handle integers in other bases.

Python's float() function/type can't handle hexadecimal notation, but
int() can. Since there are also cases where converting to a float and
then back to an int (or long) can cause rounding error, this change
splits toFloat and toInteger apart and makes them call a worker
function which accepts a conversion function which does the work of
converting a numeric string into an actual number.

in the case of toFloat, it still uses the standard float(), and in the
case of toInteger it uses a lambda which wraps int(x, 0).
