RFR: 8326227: Rounding error that may distort computeNextGaussian results [v12]

[Chris Hennick]

> This provides a slightly more accurate bounding limit for `computeNextExponentialSoftCapped`. Currently, if the maximum is specified as 12.0, it won't actually return a value larger than `1.5 * exponentialX0` (11.353912041222094); and the error gets worse as we go further into the tail. (This affects slightly less than 12 outputs per million for an ideal RNG.) 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 (with probability $$e^{-2^{63} exponentialX0} \approx 10^{-3.022 \times 10^{19}}$$ for an ideal RNG); but more likely, it would give a result that was truncated too close to zero.
