Fix a failure to round to nearest Float for large negative exponent when no fraction part is provided.

For example, this should be true:
	
	25e-108 = 25.0e-108.

Because (10 raisedToInteger: exp) isAnExactFloat is false for any exp abs > 22, we shall not recompose the float as integerPart * (base asFloat raisedTo: exponent), that's potentially two inexact operations in a row, and a chance of incorrect rounding.
