Summary: Byte Range Lock API incorrectly uses signed int for lock len

Initial Comment:
The win32 api for byte range locks, LockFileEx etc specifies unsigned (DWORD) arguments for the length of the lock. The Pywin32 api uses signed int, making it impossible to request  some locks that would be allowed using the native wine32 api.
