JDK 9 RFR of 8030814: Long.parseUnsignedLong should throw exception on too large input

[Joe Darcy]

Hi Brian,

I think more explanation of how the new code works needs to be included 
in the code (and the commented out code should be deleted).

For the test, I would expect something with a bit simpler structure, but 
perhaps I don't fully understand the boundary cases of the new code.
