rG15991a682445: xargs: fix -R so that it accepts negative numbers again
rG202adb223610: xargs: fix -R so that it accepts negative numbers again
Summary

fbc445addf9 converted the parsing of arguments to strtonum but made
the accepted range for -R too restrictive. As documented in the man
page, it should accept negative numbers.

Added a test for this, which was provided by Jose Luis Duran.
