Change how math rounds integer results

Browse Source 
We need our `math` builtin to behave like `bc` with respect to rounding
floating point values to integer to avoid breaking to many existing
uses. So when scale is zero round down to the nearest integer.

Another change for #3157.

The following options are available:
- `-sN` or `--scale=N` sets the scale of the result. `N` must be an integer and defaults to zero (rounded to the nearest integer).
- `-sN` or `--scale=N` sets the scale of the result. `N` must be an integer and defaults to zero. A scale of zero causes results to be rounded down to the nearest integer. So `3/2` returns `1` rather than `2` which `1.5` would normally round to. This is for compatibility with `bc` which was the basis for this command prior to fish 3.0.0. Scale values greater than zero causes the result to be rounded using the usual rules to the specified number of decimal places.
