Issue #14455: fix handling of unsigned long long values for binary plist files

Browse source 
Values in the range of an unsigned long long, but outside of the range
of a signed long long were serialized as a negative value.

Due to a bug in PyObjC my test scripts indicated that the previous behavior
matched Apple's plist code, instead the handle large unsigned values correctly.

The change to plistlib.py is from a patch by Serhiy.

An :exc:`OverflowError` will be raised for integer values that cannot
be represented in (binary) plist files.
.. warning::
For compatibility with Apple's libraries it is possible to write
an integer in the range from 2 ** 63 upto (and including) 2 ** 64
to binary plists, even though these will be read back as negative
values.
