This commit fixes a bug in the Algol68 compiler where the abscharmax value was incorrectly treated as a char instead of an int. This type error occurred during the lowering of character-related operations, and has been corrected by redefining a68_char_max to expect an integer. A new test case is included to verify the fix.
