[issue40832] hi param in bisect module should not accept negative values

[Raymond Hettinger]

If the implementation made it easy, I would add the check.  But since it would be an invasive change, I'm inclined to pass on it because it is so uncommon — the lo and hi arguments are rarely used, even more rarely with a negative hi paired with a non-negative lo  — I've never seen this arise in practice ever.

If someone does find a real-world case where this was problematic, feel free to reopen this and we'll find a way to squeeze in the extra range check.
