MySQL already has unsigned INT type, and it has double the range of
signed INT type.
It's not just the bigger range that UINT type brings.
If unsigned INT type exists, I wouldn't have to execute "create domain
UINT" in every database.

If "INT unsigned" and "SERIAL unsigned" exist, PostgreSQL would bring
more convenience to users.
