commit 3022bb57b186c8f0b715f5469620364af90b2534

    Coerce strings correctly for the EL unary minus operator
    
    The String case of AstNegative parsed its operand by calling
    Long.parseLong() and Double.parseDouble() directly, bypassing the
    shared numeric coercion. Two consequences.
    
    An empty string operand threw an uncaught NumberFormatException.
    Every other numeric conversion path in the EL implementation coerces
    the empty string to zero, including the binary operators, so a common
    pattern such as a unary minus applied to an empty request parameter
    reported a raw NumberFormatException to the container instead of
    evaluating to zero. The null case already returned zero; the empty
    string now matches it.
    
    Any string that cannot be parsed, e.g. text or an integer literal too
    large for a long, leaked the raw unchecked NumberFormatException. The
    Jakarta EL API requires conversion failures to surface as an
    ELException, as ELSupport.coerceToNumber() does for the same parse
    failures. The parse calls are now wrapped, producing an ELException
    with the standard conversion message and the NumberFormatException as
    the cause. The result types and values for all operands that
    previously evaluated successfully are unchanged.
    
    Adds a test class for the node covering the null, empty, valid and
    invalid string operands, including the exception type and cause. The
    four failure-mode tests throw the raw NumberFormatException against
    the previous implementation.
