With GNU extensions disabled, before_max_width can go negative, and

Commit v6.12-96-g773be9eca added a clamp for this, but placed it in
the GNU-extensions branch only. Move it after that if/else so that
both branches are covered.
* src/ptx.c (fix_output_parameters): Clamp before_max_width for both
the GNU and non-GNU cases.
* tests/ptx/ptx.pl: Add a test case.
* NEWS: Mention the bug fix.
Very nice.
I tweaked the test to be in a different place protected by timeout(1),
and pushed.
Marking this as done.
thanks!
