lib/vsprintf.c: eliminate some branches

Since FORMAT_TYPE_INT is simply 1 more than FORMAT_TYPE_UINT, and
similarly for BYTE/UBYTE, SHORT/USHORT, LONG/ULONG, we can eliminate a few
instructions by making SIGN have the value 1 instead of 2, and then use
arithmetic instead of branches for computing the right spec->type.  It's a
little hacky, but certainly in the same spirit as SMALL needing to have
the value 0x20.  For example for the spec->qualifier == 'l' case, gcc now
generates

     75e:       0f b6 53 01             movzbl 0x1(%rbx),%edx
     762:       83 e2 01                and    $0x1,%edx
     765:       83 c2 09                add    $0x9,%edx
     768:       88 13                   mov    %dl,(%rbx)

instead of

     763:       0f b6 53 01             movzbl 0x1(%rbx),%edx
     767:       83 e2 02                and    $0x2,%edx
     76a:       80 fa 01                cmp    $0x1,%dl
     76d:       19 d2                   sbb    %edx,%edx
     76f:       83 c2 0a                add    $0xa,%edx
     772:       88 13                   mov    %dl,(%rbx)
