refactor: Add explicit DISALLOW_NEGATION ArgsManager flag to clarify flag usage
Currently, ALLOW_{INT|BOOL|STRING} flags don't do any real validation, so current uses of these flags are misleading and will also break backwards compatibility whenever these flags are implemented in a future PR (draft PR is #16545). An additional complication is that while these flags don't do any real settings validation, they do affect whether setting negation syntax is allowed. Fix this mess by disabling ALLOW_{INT|BOOL|STRING} flags until they are implemented, and adding an unambiguous DISALLOW_NEGATION flag. This is done in two commits, with this commit adding the DISALLOW_NEGATION flag, and the next commit disabling the ALLOW_{INT|BOOL|STRING} flags.
