Test compile failure on `aarch64-linux`: `std::os::raw::c_char` is unsigned

[magneticflux-]

Contrary to popular belief, char's signedness is undefined; it is commonly signed on x86_64 and unsigned on AArch64 and the Rust raw types follow their C counterparts: https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/os/raw/type.c_char.html

Encountered running tests on AArch64:

error[E0600]: cannot apply unary operator `-` to type `u8`

The offending unary -: https://github.com/influxdata/flux/blob/27fa85da326380acd1e096e846118a24c446f047/libflux/flux/src/cffi.rs#L1148-L1153

-61 should probably be changed to 194.

This seems to work:

Still a build failure.

autoclose bots are silly.
