memory: use signed arithmetic
When trying to map an alias of a ram region, where the alias starts at
address A and we map it into address B, and A > B, we had an arithmetic
underflow. Because we use unsigned arithmetic, the underflow converted
into a large number which failed addrrange_intersects() tests.
The concrete example which triggered this was cirrus vga mapping
the framebuffer at offsets 0xc0000-0xc7fff (relative to the start of
the framebuffer) into offsets 0xa0000 (relative to system addres space
start).
With our favorite analogy of a windowing system, this is equivalent to
dragging a subwindow off the left edge of the screen, and failing to clip
it into its parent window which is on screen.
Fix by switching to signed arithmetic.
