[issue7633] decimal.py: type conversion in context methods

Re: canonical.  Yes, this made me pause for a second, too.  But I don't see the harm in allowing it to accept ints and longs.  Actually, it then provides a nice public version of _convert_other.

I'd probably also allow is_canonical and number_class to accept ints and longs, just on the basis that that gives fewer special cases.
