math/big: permit internal nat.scan to accept decimal point

This will simplify parsing of rational and (eventually) floating point numbers.

Also streamlined inner loop. As a result, scan runs faster for all but short
(<= 10 digit) numbers. For short numbers it is < 10% slower (cause is known
and could be addressed in a future CL).

Minor unrelated cleanups. Added additional tests.
