librustc: Use *signed* extension when converting enums to floats.

Previously, constants used unsigned extension, while non-constants used
signed extension. This unifies both paths to use signed extension.

If this breaks your code, take a deep breath, go for a walk, and
consider why you're relying on the sign extension semantics of
enum-to-float casts.

Closes #8230.
