The DWARF spec says:

  Any debugging information entry representing the declaration of an object,
  module, subprogram or type may have DW_AT_decl_file, DW_AT_decl_line and
  DW_AT_decl_column attributes, each of whose value is an unsigned integer
							  ^^^^^^^^
  constant.

Grepping around the DWARF-assembler-based testcases, I noticed that
gdb.trace/unavailable-dwarf-piece.exp emits decl_line with
DW_FORM_sdata, a signed integer form.  This commit tweaks it to use
DW_FORM_udata instead.

Unsurprisingly, this:

  $ make check \
      TESTS="gdb.trace/unavailable-dwarf-piece.exp" \
      RUNTESTFLAGS="--target_board=native-gdbserver"

... still passes cleanly for me after this change.

I've noticed this because current llvm-dwarfdump crashed on an
ROCm-internal DWARF-assembler-based testcase that incorrectly used
signed forms for DW_AT_decl_file/DW_AT_decl_line.

The older llvm-dwarfdump found on Ubuntu 20.04 (LLVM 10) reads the
line numbers with signed forms as "0" instead of crashing.  Here's the
before/after fix for gdb.trace/unavailable-dwarf-piece.exp with that
llvm-dwarfdump version:
