clamp() methods added to Math and StrictMath

`int clamp(long, int, int)` is somewhat different, as it accepts a `long` value and safely clamps it to an `int` range. Other overloads work with a particular type (long, float and double). Using similar approach in other cases (e.g. `float clamp(double, float, float)`) may cause accidental precision loss even if the value is within range, so I decided to avoid this.

In all cases, `max >= min` precondition should met. For double and float we additionally order `-0.0 < 0.0`, similarly to what Math.max or Double.compare do. In double and float overloads I try to keep at most one arg-check comparison on common path, so the order of checks might look unusual.

For tests, I noticed that tests in java/lang/Math don't use any testing framework (even newer tests), so I somehow mimic the approach of neighbour tests.
