Subject: [PATCH v2 01/10] perf dwarf-aux: Use signed variable types in match_var_offset

match_var_offset compares address offsets to determine if an access
falls within a variable's bounds. The offsets involved for those
relative to base registers from DW_OP_breg can be negative.

The current implementation uses unsigned types (u64) for these offsets,
which rejects almost all negative values.

Change the signature of match_var_offset to use signed types (s64). This
ensures correct behavior when addr_offset or addr_type are negative.
