RFR 8224789 : Parsing repetition count in regex does not detect numeric overflow

[Brent Christian]

Hi, Ivan

I agree with Roger that there are more test cases than necessary. 
Otherwise I think it looks pretty good.

I find the addExact/multiplyExact code less readable.  I'm not sure what 
could be done about it - maybe some different indentation:

cmin = Math.addExact(
                      Math.multiplyExact(cmin, 10),
                      ch - '0');

though that makes for some long lines.  Just a thought.

Thanks,
-Brent
