Attachments are streams in FFmpeg, but they are not tracks in Matroska. Yet they were counted when checking a limit for the number of tracks that the Matroska muxer imposes. This is unnecessary and has been changed. Also use unsigned variables for the variables denoting TrackNumbers as negative TrackNumbers are impossible. (The Matroska file format actually has practically no limit on the number of tracks and this is purely what our muxer supports. But even if this limit were removed/relaxed in the future, it still makes sense to use small TrackNumbers as this patch does, because greater numbers need more bytes to encode.)
