Robert Hensing 9b88bf8adf Fix underflow in Printer::printAttrs
The code that counts the number of elided attrs incorrectly used the
per-printer "global" attribute counter instead of a counter that
was relevant only to the current attribute set.

This bug flew under the radar because often the attribute sets aren't
nested, not big enough, or we wouldn't pay attention to the numbers.
I've noticed the issue because the difference underflowed.

Although this behavior is tested by the functional test
lang/eval-fail-bad-string-interpolation-4.nix, the underflow slipped
through review. A simpler reproducer would be as follows, but I
haven't added it to the test suite to keep it simple and marginally
faster.

```
