tailf: do not allow minus signed last lines argument

Before mmap() the command behavior was not completely correct, as
demonstrated below, and after the mmap() it tried to print some eighteen
quintillion lines.

$ tailf -n-1 x
tailf: cannot allocate 18446744073709543424 bytes: Cannot allocate memory
