sim: Fix serialize_handlers.test.cc on Arm platforms
The C and C++ standards allows the character type char to be signed or
unsigned, depending on the platform and compiler. Most systems,
including x86 GNU/Linux and Microsoft Windows, use signed char, but
those based on PowerPC and ARM processors typically use unsigned char
This means testing for:
EXPECT_FALSE(parser.parse("255", value));
is not portable as Arm platforms are able to convert 255 into an unsigned
character. We are fixing this portability issue by performing
different checks depending on the platform.
Maybe a better solution would be to explicitly set the sign of the
char (signed char in this case)
