`Base.uabs` is helpful when writing code that works with generic integers without worrying about silent overflows or overflow errors when using integers from [SaferIntegers.jl](https://github.com/JeffreySarnoff/SaferIntegers.jl) `Base.uabs` is already being used by a few packages https://juliahub.com/ui/Search?q=uabs&type=code&w=true and has a docstring. However, it is currently an internal function. Ref: JeffreySarnoff/SaferIntegers.jl#41 Copy of #53376
