libelf: use only unsigned integers

Signed integers have undesirable undefined behaviours on overflow.
Malicious compilers can turn apparently-correct code into code with
security vulnerabilities etc.

So use only unsigned integers.  Exceptions are booleans (which we have
already changed) and error codes.

We _do_ change all the chars which aren't fixed constants from our own
text segment, but not the char*s.  This is because it is safe to
access an arbitrary byte through a char*, but not necessarily safe to
convert an arbitrary value to a char.

As a consequence we need to compile libelf with -Wno-pointer-sign.

It is OK to change all the signed integers to unsigned because all the
inequalities in libelf are in contexts where we don't "expect"
negative numbers.

In libelf-dominfo.c:elf_xen_parse we rename a variable "rc" to
"more_notes" as it actually contains a note count derived from the
input image.  The "error" return value from elf_xen_parse_notes is
changed from -1 to ~0U.

grepping shows only one occurrence of "PRId" or "%d" or "%ld" in
libelf and xc_dom_elfloader.c (a "%d" which becomes "%u").

This is part of the fix to a security issue, XSA-55.

Conflicts in 4.1 series:
 * xc_dom_load_elf_kernel has no rc variable to change.
 * elf_load_image doesn't exist.

For those concerned about unintentional functional changes, the
following rune produces a version of the patch which is much smaller
and eliminates only non-functional changes:

 GIT_EXTERNAL_DIFF=.../unsigned-differ git-diff <before>..<after>

where <before> and <after> are git refs for the code before and after
this patch, and unsigned-differ is this shell script:

    #!/bin/bash
    set -e

    seddery () {
            perl -pe 's/\b(?:elf_errorstatus|elf_negerrnoval)\b/int/g'
    }

    path="$1"
    in="$2"
    out="$5"

    set +e
    diff -pu --label "$path~" <(seddery <"$in") --label "$path" <(seddery <"$out")
    rc=$?
    set -e
    if [ $rc = 1 ]; then rc=0; fi
    exit $rc
