Round negative signed integer towards zero in `iN::midpoint`

This PR changes the implementation of `iN::midpoint` (the signed variants) to round negative signed integers **towards zero** *instead* of negative infinity as is currently the case.

This is done so that the obvious expectations[^1] of `midpoint(a, b) == midpoint(b, a)` and `midpoint(-a, -b) == -midpoint(a, b)` are true, which makes the even more obvious implementation `(a + b) / 2` always true.

The unsigned variants `uN::midpoint` (which are being [FCP-ed](rust-lang#131784 (comment))) already rounds towards zero, so there is no consistency issue.
