In Issue SMTorg#573, I observed that `scipy`s compressed sparse column matrix was throwing an exception about specification of negative indices. I traced this issue to the column specification in the C++ implementation of RMTB. I could not figure out what precisely was going wrong. However, by simply replacing all negative column indices with zeros, I found that the unit tests pass. This is in no way a permanent solution, but given the lack of shared understanding of this code, it is preferable to it being fully nonfunctional. While we're at it, replace all internal `int`s by `long` in order to support larger model sizes, similar to the diff made in RMTC.
