THRIFT-233 IDL doesn't support negative hex literals
Client: Compiler general
Patch: mreve <aadymek@gmail.com>

This closes #461

Update hexconstant regex in thriftl.ll
As it is now, the parser doesn't allow hex constant values to be negative (it throws a 'bad syntax' error).The change updates the regex and the part that parses the hex value from the string read from the IDL file to support negative values.

Add test to ConstantsDemo.thrift
Before the change, "make install" would break with negative hex constant in ConstantsDemo.thrift. Now it compiles.
