find: fix error diagnostics of options with mandatory, numeric arguments
The error diagnostic for wrong invocations with option that require
numeric arguments (-inum, -links, -gid, -uid) was wrong and not helpful:
$ find -gid
find: invalid argument `-gid' to `-gid'
* find/parser.c (parse_gid): Remove changing back of the ARG_PTR in
the error case; thus simplify.
(parse_inum,parse_links,parse_uid): Likewise.
(get_num): While at it, mention -gid and -uid in the comment as well.
(insert_num): Also improve the error diagnostic in the case the user
has provided a non-numeric argument. Previously, it was just "invalid
argument".
* tests/find/opt-numeric-arg.sh: Add test.
* tests/local.mk: Reference it.
* NEWS (Bug Fixes): Mention the fix.
