Fix 'typeset -xu', 'typeset -xl' (rhbz#1188377)

'typeset -xu' and 'typeset -xl' would export the variable but fail
to change case in the value under certain conditions.

Original patch:
642af4d6/f/ksh-20120801-xufix.patch

This applies the patch essentially without change and adds a
regression test based on the reproducer provided in the RH bug.

Unfortunately there is no description of how the patch works and
it's a little obscure to me. As far as I can figure out, the cause
of the problem was that nv_newattr() erroneously processed a
nonexistent size option-argument such as what can be given to
options like typeset -F, e.g. typeset -F3 for 3 digits after the
dot. A nonexistent size argument is represented by the value of -1.
