Given the interface definition
type Ordered[T any] interface {
Compare(T) int
}
And the type constraint T Ordered[T], make decimal.Decimal satisfy this
constraint, so that generic code written against T Ordered[T] can work
with decimal values as smoothly as it works with time.Time values today.
Fixes: #345
* Change function name from RoundUp -> RoundCeil, RoundDown -> RoundFloor
* Add a new RoundUp and RoundDown methods
* Modify the docs of RoundUp and RoundDown
Since trailing 0 digits after the decimal point are trimmed, intString
becomes an empty string when there is no digit before the decimal point
and all digits after the decimal point is 0, causing big.Int SetString
to fail because there is no string to parse.
Fix#134.
* Make NewFromFloat respect the precision of the input
Restores the previous behaviour where input converted from float is truncated at the precision of the float.
The precision is depending on the actual value. Simply making it 15 digits would make it faster, but would in some cases lose some precision. So the code from the stdlib that does this calculation (very well) has been included.

Performance is around the same as the previous string roundtrip since it basically does the same, but allocations are a bit less.
`BenchmarkNewFromStringFloat` is the old method, `BenchmarkNewFromFloat` is the new.
