Improve handling of REPT pseudo op with a negative count.
PR 22324 * read.c (s_rept): Use size_t type for count parameter. (do_repeat): Change type of count parameter to size_t. Issue an error is the count parameter is negative. (do_repeat_with_expression): Likewise. * read.h: Update prototypes for do_repeat and do_repeat_with_expression. * doc/as.texinfo (Rept): Document that a zero count is allowed but negative counts are not. * config/tc-rx.c (rx_rept): Use size_t type for count parameter. * config/tc-tic54x.c (tic54x_loop): Cast count parameter to size_t type. * testsuite/gas/macros/end.s: Add a test using a negative repeat count. * testsuite/gas/macros/end.l: Add expected error message.
