Add tests for "Fallback symbols displayed in formatted currency output when no currency is set in API" and for "Rounding behavior when no currency is set in API"

public class NoCurrencyBehavior {
public static void main(String[] args) {
DecimalFormatSymbols EN = DecimalFormatSymbols.getInstance(ULocale.ENGLISH);

}
{
DecimalFormat df = (DecimalFormat) NumberFormat.getInstance(ULocale.ENGLISH, NumberFormat.CURRENCYSTYLE);
System.out.print("currency: " + df.getCurrency());
}
}
}Consensus opinion: we should use the unknown currency "XXX", like ICU4J and JDK are already doing in the ISO code format, with the following output:
1
2
3
4
XXX 1.23
XXX 1.23
1.23 (unknown currency)
currency: XXXThe plural long-name string, "unknown currency", comes from locale data.
Follow up with CLDR to add the currency symbol.

public class RoundingNoCurrency {

}
{
DecimalFormat df = (DecimalFormat) NumberFormat.getCurrencyInstance(ULocale.ENGLISH);
System.out.println(df.format(1.1));
}
}
}Consensus opinion: Since we should apply the default currency when no currency is set, as stated in row 10, we should also apply XXX's rounding rules, which are a fixed two fraction digits.
Desired output:
1
2
3
XXX 1.10
XXX 1.10
1.10 (unknown currency)Status
