Fix: documentation: directory header inode number signedness
A directory listing starts with a header that specifies a reference
inode number. Each entry then specifies a difference from that
reference value.
While the difference is _signed_, the reference value is _unsigned_.
This is handled correctly in the code, but was pointent out wrongly
in the documentation.
