BigDecimal does not always works currect for -0.0

BigDecimal("-0.0") => #BigDecimal:1065c88,'-0.0',9(18)
BigDecimal(-0.0,0) => #BigDecimal:10617a0,'0.0',9(27)
(-0.0).to_d => #BigDecimal:10268d0,'0.0',9(36)

i think the problem is related to #8265 because currently there is no nice way to check for -0.0 because equal? can not check it

• ext/bigdecimal/bigdecimal.c (GetVpValueWithPrec):
  treat 0.0 and -0.0 of floating-point numbers specially for an optimization
  and to correctly propagate its signbit to the result.
