Pre-initialize this to -1; otherwise...

Cast is unnecessary.

...if I don't pass in PyInt or PyLong, then this error detection will be
based on uninitialized memory.

Why are you doing this for just VIR_TYPED_PARAM_ULLONG?  I argue that we
should be doing it for all of the integral conversions.

Needs a v2.
