imp:journal: match equity conversion postings more tolerantly (fix #2041)

Browse Source 
Equity conversion postings and cost amounts were being matched up too
exactly, causing valid entries with redundant conversion postings and
costs to be rejected. Now the amounts are compared with the precision
(number of decimal places) used in the conversion posting's amount.
Eg, here the first posting's 209.60495 GEL cost is recognised as a
match for the third posting's -209.60 GEL, using the latter's two
digit precision:

        Assets               -84.01 USD @ 2.495 GEL  ; 209.60495 GEL
        Equity:Conversion     84.01 USD
        Equity:Conversion   -209.60 GEL
        Assets               209.60 GEL

- The precise format of the journal entry becomes more important.
If hledger can't detect and match up the cost and equity postings, it will give a transaction balancing error.
Amounts with repeating decimals are one of the things that can cause this ([#2051](https://github.com/simonmichael/hledger/issues/2051)).

(Perhaps over-exactly, as this is currently not limited by display precision - see #2051.)
- Two postings to equity conversion accounts, next to one another, which balance the two non-equity postings.
This balancing is checked to the same precision (number of decimal places) used in the conversion posting's amount.
Equity conversion accounts are:
