> `randstr(length[, seed])` requires a non-negative `length`, but that guard currently lives only on the execution paths (`RandStr.lengthInteger()`, called from interpreted eval and codegen), so a negative constant `length` is not rejected until the query executes.
> This moves the check into `RandStr.checkInputDataTypes()` so it is enforced during Catalyst analysis, reusing the existing `INVALID_PARAMETER_VALUE.LENGTH` error. As a result, `randstr` with a negative constant `length` now fails during analysis instead of at execution. The error itself is unchanged (same `SparkRuntimeException` and error class); only the phase at which it is raised changes. Queries with a valid (non-negative) `length` are unaffected.
