This way we can identify which entry in a stack frame to amend when
processing an exception in generated code. However, negative line
numbers are also used to signal the position of "Ret" instructions.
Since you cannot throw an exception from a "Ret" instruction, those
cannot collide, but we cannot qAbs() the line number anymore when saving
it in the stack trace. We have to qAbs() it in all the places where it's
read.
