RFR: 8229485: Add decrementExact(), incrementExact(), and negateExact() to java.lang.StrictMath

[Joe Wang]

Hi Daniel,

That makes sense. So it meant to say "converts the long to int only if 
it's within the range of an integer" (to be "exact"). It may then add 
"throws an exception if not". But the original is fine, just my 2 cents.

Best,
Joe
