    Library (type.c): corrected typo in comments
    
    Until now, in the previous commit, I had simply used `~` before the numbers
    to signify that the scientific notation is approximate. In the process, I
    had forgot to put a '-' (negative sign) before the minimum 64-bit signed
    integer value. Also, in Commit d413546d0, we had forgot to add a notice for
    fixing bug #62563 in the 'NEWS' file!
    
    With this commit, to avoid confusing '~' with '-', 'almost' is used
    instead, and the minimum value now correctly has a '-'. Also, the NEWS file
    has been updated with a notice of the bug fix.
