[llvm-rc] Allow -1 for control IDs in old style dialogs with 16 bit fields

[mstorsjo]

Summary

-1 is commonly used as ID for controls that one don't want to refer to later. For DIALOG resources, the IDs are 16 bit numbers, and -1 gets interpreted as UINT32_MAX earlier, which then later is too large to write into a uint16_t.

LGTM, but consider inline suggestion.

This is fine, but I had to stop and wonder if there's an assumption about two's-complement.

Why not:

if (Ctl.ID != static_cast<uint32_t>(-1))

Thanks, that's even more readable, will try that before commiting!
