SmileParser.getText(Writer) writes stale text for numeric tokens #835

Description

@cowtowncoder

For numeric tokens, the blocking SmileParser.getText(Writer) writes the contents of _textBuffer. But Smile never puts number values into _textBuffer (they are decoded into the number fields), so whatever text was last decoded gets written: typically the previous String value. The return value is that text's length.

getText() handles numbers correctly (getNumberValue().toString()), and so does the non-blocking NonBlockingByteArrayParser.

Reproduction

SmileFactory f = new SmileFactory();
ByteArrayOutputStream bo = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
try (JsonGenerator g = f.createGenerator(bo)) {
    g.writeStartArray();
    g.writeString("abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789");
    g.writeNumber(42);
    g.writeNumber(1.25);
    g.writeNumber(new BigInteger("123456789012345678901234567890"));
    g.writeEndArray();
}
try (JsonParser p = f.createParser(bo.toByteArray())) {
    JsonToken t;
    while ((t = p.nextToken()) != null) {
        if (t.isScalarValue()) {
            StringWriter w = new StringWriter();
            int n = p.getText(w);
            System.out.println(t + ": getText()=" + p.getText() + ", getText(Writer)=" + w + " (" + n + ")");
        }
    }
}

Observed (2.18 branch):

Token getText() Blocking getText(Writer) Non-blocking getText(Writer)
VALUE_STRING "abcdefghij..." "abcdefghij..." (72) "abcdefghij..." (72)
VALUE_NUMBER_INT 42 "42" "abcdefghij..." (72) "42" (2)
VALUE_NUMBER_FLOAT 1.25 "1.25" "abcdefghij..." (72) "1.25" (4)
VALUE_NUMBER_INT (BigInteger) "1234567890..." "abcdefghij..." (72) "1234567890..." (30)

Cause

In SmileParser.getText(Writer):

if (t != null) {
    if (t.isNumeric()) {
        return _textBuffer.contentsToWriter(writer);   // stale content
    }
    ...

Suggested fix

Write getNumberValue().toString() for numeric tokens, as getText() does. Note: the token may still be incomplete (lazily decoded), and getNumberValue() takes care of finishing it.
