Ken Hu updated TINKERPOP-3275:
------------------------------
    Description: 
Caveat: I haven't fully verified this, just something AI told me when I was 
updating the "model" tests for gremlin-python. Just putting here so it can be 
checked later.

gremlin-python can't serialize BigInt signed boundary values like -129.

{code:java}
 The failure path is:
  GraphBinaryWriter.write_object()
  BigIntIO.dictify()
  BigIntIO.write_bigint()
  obj.to_bytes(length, byteorder='big', signed=True)
{code}

For -129, Python reports:
(-129).bit_length() == 8
The current writer computes:

  length = (obj.bit_length() + 7) // 8  # 1

But one signed byte only represents -128 through 127, so -129 needs two bytes 
in two’s complement form. The serializer is using magnitude bit length as if it 
were signed encoded length.
