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.

Implementation of aforementioned methods applied an integer multiplier
to int part, and rejected the exponent. This did not work well for
positive exponent values - multiplier was supposed to be a non-integer
value less than 1, but was rounded up to it. This caused different
results for equal Decimal values like decimal.New(19, 1) and
decimal.New(1900, -1).
Now functions return the receiver if it represents an integer value.
This also reduces execution time for previously broken cases.
Performance and allocations not that good but can be optimized later.
RoundSwedish aka Cash/Penny/öre rounding rounds decimal to a specific
interval. The amount payable for a cash transaction is rounded to the nearest
multiple of the minimum currency unit available. The following intervals are
available: 5, 10, 15, 25, 50 and 100; any other number throws a panic.
5: 5 cent rounding 3.43 => 3.45
10: 10 cent rounding 3.45 => 3.50 (5 gets rounded up)
15: 10 cent rounding 3.45 => 3.40 (5 gets rounded down)
25: 25 cent rounding 3.41 => 3.50
50: 50 cent rounding 3.75 => 4.00
100: 100 cent rounding 3.50 => 4.00

* Corrected NullDecimal comment
Saying that NullDecimal is immutable is just incorrect, and we don't need
to duplicate the description of properties of a Decimal type here.
* Added UnmarshalJSON and MarshalJSON support for NullDecimal
* Added tests for JSON operations on NullDecimal
* Fixed mistakes in tests
