Error when raising to a BigDecimal #1967

When raising a FixNum to a BigDecimal, the operation errors claiming it expects a FixNum.

Repro:

Tested using jruby 1.7.15 (1.9.3p392)

require 'bigdecimal/math'
a = BigDecimal(1.2, 2)
2 ** a

Output:

TypeError: wrong argument type BigDecimal (expected Fixnum)
    from org/jruby/ext/bigdecimal/RubyBigDecimal.java:851:in `**'
    from org/jruby/RubyFixnum.java:723:in `**'
    from (irb):9:in `evaluate'
    from org/jruby/RubyKernel.java:1101:in `eval'
    from org/jruby/RubyKernel.java:1501:in `loop'
    from org/jruby/RubyKernel.java:1264:in `catch'
    from org/jruby/RubyKernel.java:1264:in `catch'

Expectations:

In MRI, this seems to be handled correctly, regardless of the type being raised. I would expect a BigDecimal to be returned from the equation.

Confirmed on 1.7 and master branches.

Also, raising a BigDecimal to anything except a FixNum returns:

TypeError: wrong argument type Float (expected Fixnum)
    from org/jruby/ext/bigdecimal/RubyBigDecimal.java:842:in `**'
    from (irb):9:in `evaluate'
    from org/jruby/RubyKernel.java:1101:in `eval'
    from org/jruby/RubyKernel.java:1501:in `loop'
    from org/jruby/RubyKernel.java:1264:in `catch'
    from org/jruby/RubyKernel.java:1264:in `catch'

example:

require 'bigdecimal/math'
a = BigDecimal(1.2, 2)
a ** 0.2

since we're now not raising users should get ~ the value they expect (closing jruby#1967)

removed the incorrect failures (under >= 1.9) and implemented a helper that handles the float remainder of the exponent using Java double arithmetics ... it's not as precise as e.g. in the integer exponent case but we're close and it's better than not raising and returning something unexpectedly inaccurate here ...

* jruby-1_7: (38 commits)
  basic BigDecimal sub-class test ... all working the same as MRI 1.8/1.9
  avoid deprecated newInstance + one less pattern to match on BigDecimal.new
  [bigdecimal] keep the simplified newInstance backport 1.8 compatible
  [bigdecimal] backport simplified newInstance impl from master
  minor BigDecimal code cleanup
  handle big decimal ** float value calculation (with Java double math) ... since we're now not raising users should get ~ the value they expect (closing #1967)
  static-ize and simplify private helpers
  BigDecimal should not raise error on pow/** with float arg (under 1.9 #1967)
  some more (internal) RubyBigDecimal dry-ing / tidy-ing
  do coercion on * and / (same as MRI has been doing since 1.8) ... fixes #2538
  handle BigDecimal cmp failure compatibly with MRI (fixes #2539)
  pass around context in BigDecimal impl + simplify cmp method's code
  move JI java.mat.BigDecimal test out of Ruby's BigDecimal tests
  [travis-ci] test-extended on jdk8
  if current directory is inside the classloader a spawn jruby process should do the same
  use the new bin stubs from new rubygems
  set ENV['RUBY'] when jruby.home is not regular directory
  Add support for http.nonProxyHosts and rework ENV_JAVA support.
  pik the right class in URLResourceTest
