Cast char constant to int in sizeof.exp

PR gdb/22010 concerns a regression I introduced with the scalar
printing changes.  The bug is that this code in sizeof.exp:

    set signof_byte [get_integer_valueof "'\\377'" -1]

can incorrectly compute sizeof_byte.  One underlying problem here is
that gdb's C parser doesn't treat a char constant as an int (this is
PR 19973).

However, it seems good to have an immediate fix for the regression.
The simplest is to cast to an int here.
