[BUG] org-todo (C-c C-t) bad negative prefix behavior [9.5.2 (9.5.2-gfbf

Subject: [BUG] org-todo (C-c C-t) bad negative prefix behavior [9.5.2 (9.5.2-gfbff08 @ /home/ionasal/.emacs.d/elpa/org-9.5.2/)]

The docstring for org-todo (C-c C-t) is unclear about the handling of -
prefix compared to -1 prefix.

Here is the relevant part of the docstring:

    With ‘C-u’ prefix ARG, force logging the state change and take a
    logging note.
    With a ‘C-u C-u’ prefix, switch to the next set of TODO keywords (nextset).
    Another way to achieve this is ‘S-C-<right>’.
    With a ‘C-u C-u C-u’ prefix, circumvent any state blocking.
    With numeric prefix arg, switch to the Nth state.

    With a numeric prefix arg of 0, inhibit note taking for the change.
    With a numeric prefix arg of -1, cancel repeater to allow marking as DONE.

The actual behavior is that - (along with any other negative numeric
prefix excluding -1) switches to the first state and -1 cancels
the repeater.

It seems like the right fix here is to make - behave the same as -1, and
raise a user error for any other negative numeric prefix, since it is
likely not doing whatever the user wanted.
