[PATCH v2 07/10] Avoid undefined behavior in read_signed_leb128


-fsanitize=undefined pointed out that read_signed_leb128 had an
undefined left-shift when processing the final byte of a 64-bit leb:

    runtime error: left shift of 127 by 63 places cannot be represented in type 'long int'

and an undefined negation:

    runtime error: negation of -9223372036854775808 cannot be represented in type 'long int'; cast to an unsigned type to negate this value to itself

Both of these problems are readily avoided by havinng
read_signed_leb128 work in an unsigned type, and then casting to the
signed type at the return.
