tablefunc: Reject negative number of tuples passed to normal_rand()
The function converted the first argument i.e. the number of tuples to return into an unsigned integer which turns out to be huge number when a negative value is passed. This causes the function to take much longer time to execute. Instead, reject a negative value. (If someone really wants to generate many more result rows, they should consider adding a bigint or numeric variant.) While at it, improve SQL test to test the number of tuples returned by this function.
