[PATCH v3 03/10] commit-graph: fix type for some write options

In-Reply-To
<20250807-b4-pks-commit-graph-wo-the-repository-v3-0-82edef830a1e@pks.im>

The options "max-commits" and "size-multiple" are both supposed to be positive integers and are documented as such, but we use a signed integer field to store them. This causes sign comparison warnings in `split_graph_merge_strategy()` because we end up comparing the option values with the observed number of commits.

Fix the issue by converting the fields to be unsigned and convert the options to use `OPT_UNSIGNED()` accordingly. This macro has only been introduced recently, which might explain why the option values were signed in the first place.
