[PATCH 1/2] lib: test_scanf: Fix incorrect use of type_min() with unsigned types

sparse was producing warnings of the form:

sparse: cast truncates bits from constant value (ffff0001 becomes 1)

The problem was that value_representable_in_type() compared unsigned types
against type_min(). But type_min() is only valid for signed types because
it is calculating the value -type_max() - 1. The minimum value of an
unsigned is obviously 0, so only type_max() need be tested.

This patch also takes the opportunity to clean up the implementation of
simple_numbers_loop() to use a common pattern for the positive and
negative test.
