[issue21227] Decimal class error messages for integer division aren't good

Nah. I found it surprising at first, but like I said, it's like the computer is given the first 28 digits of a number and then asked to figure out the 30th digit.

What I'm confused about is how it fits the definition of "division impossible" given by libmpdec's docs (about the result size), and whether you're saying it's difficult to translate the `[<class 'decimal.DivisionImpossible'>]` part to an error message.
