Mark `-1` as an available niche for file descriptors

Based on discussion from https://internals.rust-lang.org/t/can-the-standard-library-shrink-option-file/12768,
the file descriptor -1 is chosen based on the POSIX API designs that use it as a sentinel to report errors.
A bigger niche could've been chosen, particularly on Linux, but would not necessarily be portable.

This PR also adds a test case to ensure that the -1 niche
(which is kind of hacky and has no obvious test case) works correctly.
It requires the "upper" bound, which is actually -1, to be expressed in two's complement.
