When a Decimal operation raises multiple signals and more than one of those signals is trapped, the specification determines the order in which the signals should be handled. In many cases this order wasn't being followed, leading to the wrong Python exception being raised. This commit fixes those cases, and adds extra tests. The tests are only enabled when EXTENDEDERRORTESTS is True, since they involve rerunning each Decimal testcase several times. ........ ................
