The public ICU-based databinding API was removed in 2022 (commit 616243f). This change removes the remaining internal reflective fallbacks to com.ibm.icu.text.NumberFormat and com.ibm.icu.math.BigDecimal in org.eclipse.core.databinding, completing the transition to java.text. Java 17 (the bundle's BREE) handles BigDecimal parsing/formatting correctly via DecimalFormat#setParseBigDecimal(true), which is already used. Also drops two stale Javadoc references that contrasted these classes with sibling classes that no longer exist.

Planned for 4.41.
