We use the parameter file in console function to choose from an array after
checking against MAX_FILES but we never check if the value of file is
negative.

Running ./u-boot -T -l and issuing the poweroff command has resulted in
crashes because

os_exit() results in std::ostream::flush() calling U-Boot's fflush with
file being a pointer which when converted to int may be represented by a
negative number.

This shows that checking against MAX_FILES is not enough we have to ensure
that the file argument is always positive.
