acl_from_text.c: Allow negative uid/gid numbers to be handled
getfacl / acl_to_text() incorrectly prints uid/gid numbers as signed integers.
This causes uid / gid numbers larger than 2G (2147483648) to print as
negative numbers.
The libc acl_from_text() function does not handle negative numbers.
This diff adds a backwards compatiblity fix to allow negative numbers...
