[analyzer][solver] Do not negate unsigned ranges

Summary

This is a bugfix. Simply put, 2u - 1u != 2u - 1u. See the static
assertion in the test file. The fix simply ban the negation of unsigned
expressions. This way the we are getting a little bit more conservatie,
but at least we do not infer wrong values.

Seems reasonable.

It's not immediately clear what you refer to by the TRUE case. The two evals the opposite condition, consequently one of them should be FALSE. Same for the next case.

Actually, this test case was correct, because UINT_MID is a special value and for that

_Static_assert(UINT_MID == -UINT_MID, "");

holds.
So, this patch is meaningless.
