Bounds constructor validation

[Kevin Rushforth]

Note that a negative width or height is considered empty (see 
Bounds.isEmpty()) so it might break something if you couldn't constuct 
such a bounds.

While looking at this, I noticed that in Node, the prefWidth method relies on the layoutBounds.getWidth(). However, the Bounds class itself does not appear to do any validation of the parameters passed to the Bounds. There are no checks for NaN, and no checks for negative width, height, depth.
