Feature #12161: Friendly BigDecimal#inspect

----------------------------------------
Can BigDecimal's #inspect be more human-friendly? Even just `#<BigDecimal:b7ea1130,1234.5678,8(12)>` instead of `#<BigDecimal:b7ea1130,'0.12345678E4',8(12)>` will be much  easy to read. But I think the best option is `1234.5678(#<BigDecimal:b7ea1130,8(12)>)` or something alike, which focuses on its numeric nature.

I've never used bigdecimal's address and number of significant digits. Maybe if this is rarely used information it can be avoided in #inspect at all.

With such formatting It'll be easier to recognise values in repl, debugger, and especially in test's output/failures.
