The syscall return value passed back through the syscall filter
callback is semantically signed: negative values encode errno codes.
Declaring the sysret pointer as uint64_t * is therefore misleading and
forces callers to launder the value through an unsigned temporary.

Change the sysret pointer to int64_t * across the public plugin API
typedef (qemu_plugin_vcpu_syscall_filter_cb_t), the internal
qemu_plugin_vcpu_syscall_filter() prototypes and stub, its
implementation in plugins/core.c, the linux-user caller, and the
in-tree example plugins.
