Fix denominator of roundto result
Multiprecision rational created from a double value may have large power of 2 denominator since fractional decimal numbers can not be represented as binary floating point numbers. It leads to failed assertion when result is compared to a value converted directly from strings. Use integer multiprecision arithmetics to round numbers to ensure proper denominator. Inspired by python gmpy2 package <https://github.com/aleaxit/gmpy/blob/3e4564ae9d/src/gmpy2_mpq_misc.c#L315> The change makes `roundto` symmetric for positive/negative arguments. Halves are rounded to nearest even. Rounded away from zero are discussed in #1663 and it may be achieved with minimal modification. - See #2329 - Closes #1983
