If we're going to kill atoi(), let's also kill atof, atol, atoq, atoll.
 Oh, and maint.mk already has a rule that does this; we just have it
disabled because we aren't clean yet (it also prohibits *scanf, because
that also has undefined behavior on overflow; but we haven't scrubbed
our sources to get rid of scanf usage).

What are we exempting?  You can probably drop this line.

This at least is a more specific message than the generic check in maint.mk.
