RFR: 8326227: Rounding error that may distort computeNextGaussian results [v7]

[Chris Hennick]

> This provides a slightly more accurate bounding limit for `computeNextExponentialSoftCapped` when calling it from `computeNextGaussian`. This could cause the `while (computeNextExponentialSoftCapped(rng, limit) < limit)` check in `computeNextGaussian` on line 1402 to always be true, making the `nextGaussian` runtime unbounded in the worst case; but more likely, it would give a result that was truncated too close to zero.
