Hmm, if minimum and maximum are not symmetric, then we need to supply
both, don't we?

Subject: [PATCH] config: let git_parse_signed() check minimum

git_parse_signed() checks that the absolute value of the parsed string
is less than or equal to a caller supplied maximum value.  When
calculating the absolute value there is a integer overflow if `val ==
INTMAX_MIN`.

Avoid overflow during sign inversion by supplying the minimum value to
the function as well.  Make `factor` signed to avoid promoting the
division results in the limit check line to unsigned, but check whether
it's positive.

Add a new macro, minimum_signed_value_of_type, and use it in the callers
of git_parse_signed() to provide the newly required minimum value.  It
calculates the minimum for a given type using division instead of right
shift because the latter is implementation-defined for signed types,
and we need an arithmetic right shift here, not a logical one.

git_config_get_expiry_in_days() could use git_parse_int(), but that's
a different topic.
