Summary: explicit sign variable for longs

Initial Comment:
This patch removes longobject.c abuse of ob_size to store the sign 
in favour of an explicit sign member, as mentioned on python-dev.

The only other file that needed modifying is marshal.c (but the 
marshal format isn't changed).

It doesn't touch all the various code that handles ob_size 
generically.

Oh, and I meant to say, it passes make test but more testing is certainly 
welcome -- some mistakes show up in pretty obscure ways...
