Compact can log incorrect value for freedBytes

      When compacting a collection that is actively being written it is possible that the collection is larger at the completion of compaction than when it started; I assume that this is an expected outcome. In this case the operation returns a negative number for bytesFreed:

      {
      	"bytesFreed" : -339968,
      	"ok" : 1,
      	"$clusterTime" : {
      		"clusterTime" : Timestamp(1614690587, 925),
      		"signature" : {
      			"hash" : BinData(0,"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA="),
      			"keyId" : NumberLong(0)
      		}
      	},
      	"operationTime" : Timestamp(1614690587, 898)
      }
      

      Whereas an absurdly large value is logged for freedBytes:

      {"t":{"$date":"2021-03-02T08:09:47.634-05:00"},"s":"I",  "c":"STORAGE",  "id":20286,   "ctx":"conn24","msg":"Compact end","attr":{"namespace":"test.c","freedBytes":18446744073709211648}}
      

      It looks like compactCollection is incorrectly treating the negative signed value as unsigned when it logs it.

      Possibly both values should be logged as 0, since logging a negative value may make it appear that compact is malfunctioning.

      Also, it would be good to make the command result and the log statement consistent; suggest changing the log statement to use "bytesFreed" as it seems less likely that users will be affected by changing the log statement than by changing the command return.
