Using a wrapper in src/fe_utils makes sense.  I would have used
options.c for the new file, or would that be too much generic?

The code indentation is weird, particularly the switch/case in
pg_strtoint64_range().

The error handling is awkward.  I think that you should just call
pg_log_error in pg_strtoint64_range instead of returning an error
string as you do.  You could do that by passing down the option name
to the routine, and generate a new set of error messages using that.

Why do you need to update common/Makefile?

The builds on Windows are broken.  You are adding one file into
fe_utils, but forgot to update @pgfeutilsfiles in Mkvcbuild.pm.
