976e5d8 test: Fix `test/streams_tests.cpp` compilation on SunOS / illumos (Hennadii Stepanov)

Pull request description:

  On systems where `int8_t` is defined as `char`, the `{S,Uns}erialize(Stream&, signed char)` functions become undefined.

  This PR resolves the issue by testing `{S,Uns}erialize(Stream&, int8_t)` instead.

  No behavior change on systems where `int8_t` is defined as `signed char`, which is the case for most other systems.

  Fixes bitcoin#29884.

  An alternative approach is mentioned in bitcoin#29884 (comment) as well.
