Reviewer needed: 6282196 There should be Math.mod(number, modulo) methods

[Roger Riggs]

I'm not sure have all the history around the Math vs StrictMath distinction.
There are many cross references between Math and StrictMath for common
functions, for example, ulp, getExponent, copySign, etc.
The distinction is clearer for floating point operations than for 
int/log computations.
