When very high Catalog Node IDs are in use, comparing CNIDs via
subtraction may overflow. This causes files and folders to appear to be
missing in the btree. It's safer to just use comparison operations
rather than subtraction.

Also fixes the parent field in grub_hfsplus_catkey_internal, which is
currently using an unqualified int to hold an unsigned value.
