George Koehler 59b3c10563 Use (arith) 1 << ... when getting the sign bit.
This prevents an overflow reported by @hexcoder- in
https://github.com/davidgiven/ack/issues/56

lang/cem/cpp.ansi/LLlex.c used a plain 1 << ... and caused an overflow
on machines where sizeof(int) < sizeof(long).  Using 1L << ... would
work for now but might fail later if arith became long long.

C doesn't specify whether negative integers use 2's complement or some
other format.  Therefore, (arith) 1 << ... has an undefined value.  It
should still work because the value is some integer where the sign bit
is set and all other bits are clear.

(unsigned arith) 1 << ... would also get the sign bit, but casting it
from unsigned back to signed would make the same undefined value.

(arith) -1 << ... would assume 2's complement.
