Summary: The compilers we use treat char as signed. However, this is not guarantee of C standard and some compilers (for ARM platform for example), treat char as unsigned. Code that assumes that char is either signed or unsigned is wrong. This change explicitly casts the char to signed version. This will not break any of our use cases on x86, which, I believe are all of them. In case somebody out there is using RocksDB on ARM AND using bloom filters, they're going to have a bad time. However, it is very unlikely that this is the case.

RocksDB: A Persistent Key-Value Store for Flash and RAM Storage
RocksDB is developed and maintained by Facebook Database Engineering Team. It is built on on earlier work on LevelDB by Sanjay Ghemawat (sanjay@google.com) and Jeff Dean (jeff@google.com)
This code is a library that forms the core building block for a fast key value server, especially suited for storing data on flash drives. It has a Log-Structured-Merge-Database (LSM) design with flexible tradeoffs between Write-Amplification-Factor (WAF), Read-Amplification-Factor (RAF) and Space-Amplification-Factor (SAF). It has multi-threaded compactions, making it specially suitable for storing multiple terabytes of data in a single database.
