math/big: handle negative moduli in ModInverse

Currently, there is no check for a negative modulus in ModInverse.
Negative moduli are passed internally to GCD, which returns 0 for
negative arguments. Mod is symmetric with respect to negative moduli,
so the calculation can be done by just negating the modulus before
passing the arguments to GCD.

Fixes #24949
