JDK 9 RFR of 4026465: Provide more byte array constructors for BigInteger

[Stephen Colebourne]

Just to note that an IndexOutOfBoundsException is mentioned in the
text (line 274, 350) but there is no matching @throws clause. The
IndexOutOfBoundsException could have a message added.

In general, I would expect an offset/length overload for most methods
that take an array, so this seems like a sensible request.
