negative nativeHistogramBucketLimit breaks reconciliation

Creating a ServiceMonitor with nativeHistogramBucketLimit set negative (outside range of uint64) can break the operator, it was not reconciling changes to Prometheus instances while a ServiceMonitor in the namespace had the negative value set.

It's an issue for the upstream Prometheus operator and it will be fixed there.
