[Mondrian] question about rounding

[John V. Sichi]

OK, I just tested MSAS, and it gives BigDecimal.ROUND_HALF_UP behavior, 
as you would expect, so I'll make the change.  I'll let the amount of 
fallout from test updates determine whether to do it as a property vs. 
just making the change without any property (unless I hear from someone 
who really wants the property).
