rpc: comment on linux_cred encoding, treat all as unsigned
The encoding of linux creds is a bit confusing. Also: I think in practice it doesn't really matter whether we treat any of these things as signed or unsigned, but unsigned seems more straightforward: uid_t/gid_t are unsigned and it simplifies the ngroups overflow check.
