journal: make balance assertions exact again (#941)

Going with option 1b from the issue: calculated and asserted amounts
are compared exactly, disregarding display precision.
But now balance assertion failure messages show those exact amounts at
full precision, avoiding confusion.

### Assertions and precision
A [commodity directive](http://hledger.org/journal.html#declaring-commodities)
which limits the display precision, can affect assertions.
In general, hledger balance assertions should pass or fail as you would
expect from doing visual inspection and manual arithmetic with the amounts
shown in reports and error messages, ie at display precision.
More specifically, currently assertions pass if the difference between asserted
and actual amounts appears to be zero, when rendered to the greater of
the standard display precision and the asserted amount's precision.
Here are some examples of this in action.
Asserting the exact balance:
```journal
commodity $1000.00
2019/01/01
(a) $0.006
2019/01/02
(a) $1.00 = $1.006
; Actual balance: 1.006
; Asserted balence: 1.006
; Difference: 0.000
; Standard & asserted precisions: 2, 3
; Difference rendered: 0.000
; Result: pass
```
Asserting the balance rounded to fewer decimal places:
```journal
commodity $1000.00
2019/01/01
(a) $0.006
2019/01/02
(a) $1.00 = $1.01
; Actual balance: 1.006
; Asserted balence: 1.01
; Difference: 0.004
; Standard & asserted precisions: 2, 2
; Difference rendered: 0.00
; Result: pass
```
Asserting an inexact balance with too many decimal places (fails):
```journal
commodity $1000.00
2019/01/01
(a) $0.006
2019/01/02
(a) $1.00 = $1.0061
; Actual balance: 1.006
; Asserted balence: 1.0061
; Difference: 0.0001
; Standard & asserted precisions: 2, 4
; Difference rendered: 0.0001
; Result: fail
```
Balance assertions compare the exactly calculated amounts,
which are not always what is shown by reports.
Eg a [commodity directive](http://hledger.org/journal.html#declaring-commodities)
may limit the display precision, but this will not affect balance assertions.
Balance assertion failure messages show exact amounts.
