gstrfuncs: Clarify that g_ascii_strtoull() accepts signed numbers

Browse Source 
It’s perverse, but explicitly documented that strtoull() accepts numbers
with a leading minus sign (`-`) and explicitly casts them to signed
output.

g_ascii_strtoull() is documented to do what strtoull() does (but locale
independently), and its behaviour is correct. However, the documentation
could be a lot clearer about this unexpected behaviour.

Add a unit test for it too.
