Restrict subtraction zero peepholes to integer operandspr254-fixes

Require resolved integer mode in chapter 25 so zero subtraction preserves floating-point signed zero. Keep nonnumeric operands in the graph for subtraction diagnostics.

Add signed-zero coverage from chapter 12 and null-subtraction diagnostics from chapter 22. Confirmed the regressions fail on the original PR. Full Make suites pass in chapters 4-25 (5462 tests), including fresh chapter 25 sys.o compilation.
