It is unsigned in Bitcoin Core, so the tests should match it:

unsigned int nTransactions;

Large positive values, or "negative" values, are rejected anyway, but it still seems fine to fix this.

The bug was introduced when the code was written in d280617.

(Lowercase i means signed, see https://docs.python.org/3/library/struct.html#format-characters)

faf2a97 test: Use int.to_bytes over struct packing (MarcoFalke)
faf3cd6 test: Normalize struct.pack format (MarcoFalke)

Pull request description:

  `struct.pack` has many issues:

  * The format string consists of characters that may be confusing and may need to be looked up in the documentation, as opposed to using easy to understand self-documenting code.

  This lead to many test bugs, which weren't hit, which is fine, but still confusing. Ref: #29400, #29399, #29363, fa3886b, ...

  Fix all issues by using the built-in `int` helpers `to_bytes` via a scripted diff.

  Review notes:

  * For `struct.pack` and `int.to_bytes` the error behavior is the same, although the error messages are not identical.
  * Two `struct.pack` remain. One for float serialization in a C++ code comment, and one for native serialization.
