<i18n dev> RFR: 8331485: Odd Results when Parsing Scientific Notation with Large Exponent [v2]

[Justin Lu]

> Please review this PR which corrects an edge case bug for java.text.DecimalFormat that causes incorrect parsing results for strings with very large exponent values.
> 
> When parsing values with large exponents, if the value of the exponent exceeds `Integer.MAX_VALUE`, the parsed value  is equal to 0. If the value of the exponent exceeds `Long.MAX_VALUE`, the parsed value is equal to the mantissa. Both results are confusing and incorrect.
> 
> For example,
> 
> 
> NumberFormat fmt = NumberFormat.getInstance(Locale.US);
> fmt.parse(".1E2147483648"); // returns 0.0
> fmt.parse(".1E9223372036854775808"); // returns 0.1
> // For comparison
> Double.parseDouble(".1E2147483648"); // returns Infinity
> Double.parseDouble(".1E9223372036854775808"); // returns Infinity
> 
> 
> After this change, both parse calls return `Double.POSITIVE_INFINITY` now.
