math/big: special-case a 0 mantissa during Rat parsing

Previously, a 0 mantissa was special-cased during big.Float
parsing, but not during big.Rat parsing. This meant that a value
like 0e9999999999 would parse successfully in big.Float.SetString,
but would hang in big.Rat.SetString. This discrepancy became an
issue in https://golang.org/src/go/constant/value.go?#L250,
where the big.Float would report an exponent of 0, so
big.Rat.SetString would be used and would subsequently hang.

A Go Playground example of this is https://play.golang.org/p/3fy28eUJuF

The solution is to special-case a zero mantissa during big.Rat
parsing as well, so that neither big.Rat nor big.Float will hang when
parsing a value with 0 mantissa but a large exponent.

This was discovered using go-fuzz on CockroachDB:

Fixes #16176
