Eww.  This mixes up two return types, negative errno, and negative
input.  User input of -22 shouldn't behave differently than -21, just
because it happens to match -EINVAL.

Do we ever want to allow a negative return from cvtnum(), or should we
just blindly map a negative int64_t into -ERANGE for a contract that we
only accept 63-bit numbers?
