[PATCH 1/2] ctype: Fix integer type for caseconv_entry::delta

The commit 46ba1675c457324b0eeef4670a09101ef3f34c50 accidently changed a
bit-field from signed to unsigned.  The caseconv_entry::delta must be a
signed integer, see also "newlib/libc/ctype/caseconv.t".

Unfortunately, a standard GCC/Newlib build is done without
-Wsign-conversion.  Using this warning option would have helped to avoid
this bug:

caseconv.t:2:22: warning: unsigned conversion from 'int' to 'unsigned int:17' changes value from '-32' to '131040' [-Wsign-conversion]
   {0x0061, 25, TOUP, -32},
