[clang-format] Fix comparison warning in 32-bit builds

[DavidSpickett]

In our 32-bit Arm builds we see:

UnwrappedLineFormatter.cpp:645:31: warning: comparison of integers of different signs: 'typename iterator_traits<AnnotatedLine *const *>::difference_type' (aka 'int') and 'const unsigned int' [-Wsign-compare]
  645 |       if (std::distance(I, E) <= N)
      |           ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ^  ~

The existing comparison seems to assume that the distance will not be negative. So to fix this warning I've cast the distance to the unsigned type.

I think this warning does not occur in 64-bit builds because there it is safe to extend the unsigned 32-bit integer to the 64-bit signed distance type.

Changes

In our 32-bit Arm builds we see:

UnwrappedLineFormatter.cpp:645:31: warning: comparison of integers of different signs: 'typename iterator_traits<AnnotatedLine *const *>::difference_type' (aka 'int') and 'const unsigned int' [-Wsign-compare]
  645 |       if (std::distance(I, E) <= N)
      |           ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ^  ~

The existing comparison seems to assume that the distance will not be negative. So to fix this warning I've asserted that that is the case, then cast the distance to the unsigned type.

I think this warning does not occur in 64-bit builds becuase there it is safe to extend the unsigned 32-bit integer to the 64-bit signed distance type.
