re PR libgcj/1596 (setScale() missing from java.math.BigDecimal)

	Fix for PR libgcj/1596:
	* java/math/BigDecimal.java (divide): Check newScale for validity.
	Ensure that BigInteger.pow() is called with a non-negative value.
	(setScale (int)): New public method.
	(setScale (int,int)): New public method.
