[java] Fix BigDecimal ROUND_HALF_EVEN


An IBM'er discovered the following problem in Classpath while trying
to benchmark a telco billing benchmark.

The following program should output 0.21 after scaling, but outputs
0.20.  The attached patch fixes the bug.  Is there a straightforward
way to add this to the test suite?

import java.io.*;
import java.math.*;

public class jdec {
 public static void main(String args[]) {
     BigDecimal x = new BigDecimal("0.20562");
     System.out.println("before scale p " + x.toString());
     x=x.setScale(2, BigDecimal.ROUND_HALF_EVEN); // to x.xx
     System.out.println("after scale p " + x.toString());
 }}

	* java/math/BigDecimal (divide): Correctly handle
        ROUND_HALF_EVEN when amount is greater than 0.5.
