api: Reserve more numbers for internal calls

Reasoning; currently INTERNAL_CALL is mostly used to determine whether it is 
needed to deal with NL-used-as-NUL problem. This code is useful for nvim_… API 
calls done from VimL, but not for API calls done from lua, yet lua needs to 
supply something as channel_id.
