The conclusion of this exercise is that I have spotted two more spots
that checked for an invalid syscache ID based on a hardcoded value of
-1, and I have replaced them with the new value assigned in the enum.
A few more of these checked for a positive value. There was also one
spot that I've found was incorrect, fixed separately as of
f7df12a66cc9.

The buildfarm is not complaining after c06b5b99bbb0 and ee642cccc43c,
meaning that we are hopefully good for v19 and future versions.
