These changes correct several problems with parsing of numbers from
strings and streams. The problems are demonstrated by NumberParsingTest
and ScaledDecimalTest (provided in separate change sets; the latter is
already included in the Squeak 3.9 image).

The original bug report was for the following problem, which is corrected
by this change set:
  '1.40s2' asNumber => 1.39s2

This change set replaces NumberReadFromFixes-dtl, which introduced a
serious bug that prevented recompilation of the system.

To illustrate the bugs, please also run ScaledDecimalTest, which has
already been included in the 3.9 update stream.
