represent negative T-timers as Osmocom-specific X-timers

fi->T values are int, i.e. can be negative. Do not log them as unsigned, but
define a distinct timer class "Xnnnn" for negative T values: i.e. for T == -1,
print "Timeout of X1" instead of "Timeout of T4294967295".

The negative T timer number space is useful to distinguish freely invented
timers from proper 3GPP defined T numbers. So far I was using numbers like
T993210 or T9999 for invented T, but X1, X2 etc. is a better solution. This way
we can make sure to not accidentally define an invented timer number that
actually collides with a proper 3GPP specified timer number that the author was
not aware of at the time of writing.

Add OSMO_T_FMT and OSMO_T_FMT_ARGS() macros as standardized timer number print
format. Use that in fsm.c, tdef_vty.c, and adjust vty tests accordingly.

Mention the two timer classes in various API docs and VTY online-docs.
