fold: fix output truncation with 0xFF bytes in input
On signed char platforms, 0xFF was converted to -1
which matches MBBUF_EOF, causing fold to stop processing.

* NEWS: Mention the bug fix.
* gl/lib/mbbuf.h: Avoid sign extension on signed char platforms.
* tests/fold/fold-characters.sh: Adjust test case.
