In money-related scenarios, such as product prices, etc., BigDecimal needs to 
be used instead of float/double. I focus on optimizing the performance of 
BigDecimal's construction and toString scenarios.

Constructing BigDecimal usually includes two scenarios:
* new BigDecimal(char[], int, int), Many libraries, such as mysql 
drveri/fastjson/jackson and other commonly used libraries use this function to 
construct BigDecimal
* new BigDecimal(String), There are also many scenarios, such as data 
integration scenarios, scenarios where json is read from the message queue and 
then converted into target database row records, often using new 
BigDecimal(String)

I did a performance comparison test on Mac Book M1 Pro. The compared branches 
are:
* [baseline](https://github.com/wenshao/jdk/tree/upstream_master_0312)

# 1. new BigDecimal(String) benchmark
Execute the following commands respectively 

make test TEST="micro:java.math.BigDecimals.testConstructorWithHugeString"
make test TEST="micro:java.math.BigDecimals.testConstructorWithLargeString"
make test TEST="micro:java.math.BigDecimals.testConstructorWithSmallString"
make test TEST="micro:java.math.BigDecimals.testConstructorWithString"


## benchmark result

It can be seen that there is a significant performance improvement in the new 
BigDecimal(String) scenario.

# 2. new BigDecima(char[],int,int) benchmark

make test TEST="micro:java.math.BigDecimals.testConstructorWithLargeCharArray"
make test TEST="micro:java.math.BigDecimals.testConstructorWithSmallCharArray"

The current implementation has significant performance improvements in 
testConstructorWithLargeCharArray, but has performance degradation in the other 
four scenarios. The performance degradation of some of these scenarios is due 
to the need to avoid code duplication. If we don't care about code duplication, 
we can improve performance in all scenarios.

|BigDecimals.testConstructorWithHugeCharArray |-16.40% |
|BigDecimals.testConstructorWithLargeCharArray |+292.00% |
|BigDecimals.testConstructorWithSmallCharArray |-15.70% |
|BigDecimals.testConstructorWithCharArray |-8.86% |
