During the char by char comparison in `matchAffix`, the minimum of the length of the parsed String and the PP index + affix length are iterated on. The parse position index needs to be checked to not be negative to ensure that we do not index the String below 0. Taking the minimum of those two previously mentioned values already guarantees that we do not index the String above the length.

Would it be possible to review the DecimalFormat tests in the jdk repo? I'm wondering if the changes for lenient parsing in JDK-8363972 should have had more tests (it's good that tests elsewhere found the issue but it does suggest that we don't have enough tests in the jdk repo).
