Description:
------------
When DateInterval f property = -0.000001, it's properly restored as float(-1.0E-6) after unserialize(serialize()) until PHP 7.3.13 / 7.4.1 but since 7.3.14 / 7.4.2 and all >= 8, it becomes int(-1)

See https://3v4l.org/t5N4d

Test script:
---------------
$interval = new DateInterval('PT1S');
$interval->f = -0.000001;

var_dump($interval->s, $interval->f);

echo "\n";
$interval = unserialize(serialize($interval));

var_dump($interval->s, $interval->f);

Expected result:
----------------
int(1)
float(-1.0E-6)

int(1)
float(-1.0E-6)

Actual result:
--------------
int(1)
float(-1.0E-6)

int(1)
int(-1)

That's caused by the fix for bug #79015.

Well, actually the *un*serialization is correct, because negative
values of DateInterval::$f are not supposed to be supported.

My two cents. I see two issues here:
1. The type is int, but should be float.
2. If it's supposed to not accept negative numbers (which I agree), then I'd expect it to be converted to 0 not -1.

Former is an obvious bug, but for the latter I'm not sure. What's a usual PHP behavior is such cases.

This cannot be fixed for BC reasons[1].

Generally, negative values are supported just fine, so we cannot
change this for BC reasons either.

The intention was to return FALSE when reading the property, but
that won't happen due to the mentioned issue[1].
