[QOL] add support for binary and octal notation for number parsing

The number input window supports 0x... hexadecimal notation, so it stands to reason it'd be nice to have 0o... and 0b... for octal and binary respectively. I *think* I recall that the string parsing is using an in-house solution from some friday facts, so shouldn't be difficult to add?

Is there any reason to actually use this though? Sure, it might make sense from a completeness sake, but I bet few even use the hexadecimal option, save for maybe the few people building entire CPUs/ASICs/FPGAs/whatever with circuit networks.
