Subject: [PATCH] fs: fixup negative length in fs.truncate
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

`fs.ftruncate`, `fsPromises.truncate`, and `fsPromises.ftruncate`
all adjust negative lengths to 0 before invoking the system call.
`fs.truncate()` was the one outlier.

This "fixes" https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/35632 but in the
opposite direction than discussed in the issue -- specifically by
removing an EINVAL error from one function rather than adding it to
another.
