[Vm-dev] [OpenSmalltalk/opensmalltalk-vm] Incomplete implementation of `asByteArray` for negative numbers? (#324)

[Maxim V]

Hi, I found this why implementing a binary protocol - negative numbers are encoded in the same way as positive:
```
10 asByteArray = (-10 asByteArray) .  " => true"
```
While (usually) that's not the case and `bitString` shows it as well:
```
10 bitString = (-10 bitString ).  " => false"
```

I suggest that `-10 asByteArray` result is same as bitstring represented in bytes, as well as `asByteArrayOfSize:`.

What do you think?
