RFR: [CSR] 8287376: BigDecimal(String) must allow a larger range for the exponent

[Raffaello Giulietti]

Currently, BigDecimal(String) requires the exponent part to lie in the 
int range.


This CSR [1] removes this limitation, as it otherwise precludes 
constructing an instance from a string generated by BigDecimal.toString().



Greetings
Raffaello
