Subject: [PATCH 1/2] Use default of -1 for uid/gid in class initialization

This doesn't seem to change anything in polkitd behaviour, but it
seems cleaner to default to -1 which here means "unset".

Subject: [PATCH 2/2] Check gid and uid initalization in PolkitUnixUser and
 Group objects

When a user or group above INT32_MAX is created, the numeric uid or
gid wraps around to negative when the value is assigned to gint, and
polkit gets confused. Let's refuse such uids and gids.

This patch just refuses to initialize uid and gid values to negative.
A nicer fix is to change the underlying type to e.g. gint64 to allow
the full range of values in uid_t and gid_t to be represented. But
this cannot be done without breaking the API, so likely new functions
will have to be added (a polkit_unix_user_new variant that takes a
gint64, and the same for _group_new, _set_uid, _get_uid, _set_gid,
_get_gid, etc.). This will require a bigger patch.

Fixes https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/polkit/polkit/issues/74.

Example sessions from uid=4000000000:
