Make logcount act like CL on negative arg
Behaving like Common Lisp is less likely to lead to surprises,
as it yields the same answers on 32- vs 64-bit machines.
* doc/lispref/numbers.texi (Bitwise Operations):
Document behavior on negative integers.
* src/data.c (Flogcount):
Behave like Common Lisp for negative arguments.
* test/src/data-tests.el (data-tests-popcnt)
(data-tests-logcount): Test negative args too.
