[issue15988] Inconsistency in overflow error messages of integer argument

[Serhiy Storchaka]

Serhiy Storchaka added the comment:

I agree. It would be better to remove from the PR changes that can be covered by issue29816, issue29819 and other changes that changes visible behavior and open one or several new issues for them. Maybe one meta-issue and few concrete issues?

Such methods as read() also shouldn't raise OverflowError for negative argument.
