This removes code that relied on consulting the Bezier control points to 
calculate the Rectangle2D bounding box. Instead it's pretty straight-forward to 
convert the Bezier control points into the x & y parametric equations. At their 
most complex these equations are cubic polynomials, so calculating their 
extrema is just a matter of applying the quadratic formula to calculate their 
extrema. (Or in path segments that are quadratic/linear/constant: we do even 
less work.)

The bug writeup indicated they wanted Path2D#getBounds2D() to be more 
accurate/concise. They didn't explicitly say they wanted CubicCurve2D and 
QuadCurve2D to become more accurate too. But a preexisting unit test failed 
when Path2D#getBounds2D() was updated and those other classes weren't. At this 
point I considered either:
A. Updating CubicCurve2D and QuadCurve2D to use the new more accurate 
getBounds2D() or
B. Updating the unit test to forgive the discrepancy.

I chose A. Which might technically be seen as scope creep, but it feels like a 
more holistic/better approach.

Other shapes in java.awt.geom should not require updating, because they already 
identify concise bounds.

This also includes a new unit test (in Path2D/UnitTest.java) that fails without 
the changes in this commit.
