(GH-407) Support negative integers in manifest exitCodes

Prior to this change, the JSON schema for the `exitCodes` property of
resource manifests only supported positive integers as exit codes.

DSC itself supports negative integers as exit codes, and some apps
return negative integers as exit codes for hexadecimal exit codes,
like `-2147024891` for `0x80070005`, "Access denied."

This change:

- Updates both the source and composed schemas to allow negative
  integers.
- Updates the reference documentation to clarify that you must specify
  integers, that you can't use any alternate formats for those integers,
  and that the keys in YAML must be wrapped in quotes for parsing.
- Addresses #407 by making the schema compliant with the implementation.

 The `exitCodes` property defines a set of valid exit codes for the resource and their meaning.
 Define this property as a set of key-value pairs where:
 
-- The key is a string containing an integer that maps to a known exit code for the resource.
+- The key is a string containing an integer that maps to a known exit code for the resource. You
+  can't use alternate formats for the exit code. For example, instead of the hexadecimal value
+  `0x80070005` for "Access denied", specify the exit code as `-2147024891`.
 - The value is a string describing the semantic meaning of that exit code for a human reader.
 
 DSC interprets exit code `0` as a successful operation and any other exit code as an error.

+>   '4': JSON serialization failed
