Example of pos/neg writeoff values.

Hi,

This is not a recent issue, I discovered it either after 17.05 or 17.11 update.
Before the update, writeoff amounts were displayed in "red positive numbers",
but after the update, writeoff amounts became "green negative numbers" just
like payments.

This is not an issue if it's just humans reading it, but it becomes an issue
when doing accounting and stats, when I was totaling fines during a certain
time range, positive/negative values cancel each other and provide inaccurate
total fine amounts. I used ABS() as a workaround, but I hope it can be fixed
globally to keep it uniform.

Please see attached pics.
Also ticket "#49563: Difference in positive and negative values in writeoff
charges" has some discussion as well. I also spoke to Kyle regarding this issue
at KohaCon18.

Thanks.
Alex C
