[PATCH v2] tunables: Disallow negative values for some tunables

The glibc.malloc.mmap_max tunable as well as al of the INT_32 tunables
don't have use for negative values, so pin the hardcoded limits in the
non-negative range of INT.  There's no real benefit in any of those
use cases for the extended range of unsigned, so I have avoided added
a new type to keep things simple.

Change from v1: Fix tst-rtld-list-tunables.exp.
