Adds options to the bigint constructor function
math.bigint()
tocontrol whether/how non-integer inputs are rounded or errors thrown,
and whether "unsafe" values outside the range where integers can be
uniquely represented are converted. Changes
math.numeric(x, 'bigint')
to call the bigint constructor configured to allow unsafe values but
throw on non-integers (closest approximation to its previous buggy
behavior).
Also restores documentation generation for constructor functions,
and initiates History sections in function doc pages.
