FormattedExcinfo.get_source: avoid crash when line number is out-of-bounds/negative

pytest could crash given pathological AST position attributes, which shouldn't happen when testing real Python code, but could happen when testing AST produced by e.g. Hylang.

Another example of the failure is in the nightly CI for the JAX project: https://github.com/google/jax/actions/runs/4607513902/jobs/8142126075
