Changed the rounding constant values to match their variable names.
This serves to made the context representation more useful (the names in match the names out). Removed the link to ReXX. That document did not shed add anything to information already in the spec. Further tighten the public API to improve usability: * Emax and Emin are set through Context(). Their defaults are set in the DefaultContext, so there is no need to expose DEFAULT_MAX_EXPONENT and DEFAULT_MIN_EXPONENT. * The string functions isnan() and isinfinity() were only used internal to the module and were not among the test cases. External use cases are served by the Decimal constructor. So, made these private.
