RFR: 8315585: Optimization for decimal to string

BigDecimal is a commonly used class in business development, It is often necessary to perform toString or toPlainString operations on BigDecimal.

The current version uses StringBuilder resulting in multiple memory allocations, I made a modification to improve performance.

Because BigDecimal uses stringCache to cache the result of toString, the performance of toString needs special treatment before testing, such as clearing stringCache by unsafe operation before each test, The performance of toString is similar to that of toEngineering.

The performance data is as follows: 

## 1. benchmark script

sh make/devkit/createJMHBundle.sh
bash configure --with-jmh=build/jmh/jars
make test TEST="micro:java.math.BigDecimals.*ToPlainString"
make test TEST="micro:java.math.BigDecimals.*ToEngineering"


## 2. benchmark environment
* virtual machine : [aliyun_ecs_c8i.xlarge](https://help.aliyun.com/zh/ecs/user-guide/overview-of-instance-families#c8i)
* cpu intel xeon sapphire rapids (x64)

## 3. benchmark result
