[OpenJDK 2D-Dev] Various fixes to pisces stroke widening code

[Jim Graham]

Just to clarify.  My second message that I just sent mostly contained 
some additional optimizations to consider for now or later, but this 
message below contained at least one (maybe 2) thing(s) that looked like 
a bug and a few maintenance issues that I think should be done before 
finalizing this set of changes...
