gtk4 a11y: Avoid explicit std::max template specialization
Thanks to Mike Kaganski for pointing out this is the better
way to do it in [1]:
> In these cases, it's best to avoid the explicit template specialization,
> but instead, do something like
>
> std::max(sal_Int32(0), xText->getCaretPosition())
>
> because this latter form makes sure that it will not create problems
> later at some unknown point in time, when we decide to change the
> type of the returned value of the function. When that happens, your
> form would silently continue to cast both its parameters to
> sal_Int32, maybe overflowing. In the proposed form, this max would
> break again, because the sal_Int32(0) would now not match the type
> of getCaretPosition, and require us to revisit this code, and make
> correct changes.
>
> It is indeed ~impossible in the specific case of the UNO API method;
> but the best practice is that, and having inconsistency in the
> codebase is sub-optimal ;-)
