math/big: add support for underscores '_' in numbers
The primary change is in nat.scan which now accepts underscores for base 0. While at it, streamlined error handling in that function as well. Also, improved the corresponding test significantly by checking the expected result values also in case of scan errors. The second major change is in scanExponent which now accepts underscores when the new sepOk argument is set. While at it, essentially rewrote that function to match error and underscore handling of nat.scan more closely. Added a new test for scanExponent which until now was only tested indirectly. Finally, updated the documentation for several functions and added many new test cases to clients of nat.scan. A major portion of this CL is due to much better test coverage. Updates #28493.
