    WW-5711 fix(conversion): bound fraction digits when formatting BigDecimal
    
    StringConverter formatted BigDecimal, Double and Float with
    maximumFractionDigits set to Integer.MAX_VALUE. That constant arrived
    with WW-4871, which fixed round-trip precision loss for double and
    float; both of those types are naturally bounded, the widest being
    Double.MIN_VALUE at 325 fraction digits.
    
    BigDecimal has no such bound. DecimalFormat honours
    maximumFractionDigits literally and pads the fraction out to the
    value's full scale, so the length of the formatted output followed the
    scale of the value rather than its precision.
    
    Bound the setting to 340. Every double and float value still formats in
    full, as does every BigDecimal within that range; beyond it the value is
    rounded to the bound. The existing round-trip assertions for
    Double.MIN_VALUE (325 fraction digits) and for a BigDecimal slightly
    wider than double (326) are untouched and still pass.
