fix: respect both mulitple_of and minimum/maximum constraints

Previously, `generate_constrained_number()` would potentially generate
invalid numbers when `mulitple_of` is not None and exactly one of either
`minimum` or `maximum` is not None, since it would just return
`mulitple_of` without respecting the upper or lower bound.

This significantly changes the implementation of
`generate_constrained_number()` in an attempt to handle this case. We
now first check for the presence of `mulitple_of`, and if it is None,
then we return early by delegating to the `method` parameter.

Otherwise, we first generate a random number with `method`, and then we
attempt to find the nearest number that is a proper multiple of
`mulitple_of`. Most of the newly added complexity of the function is
meant to handle floating-point or Decimal precision issues, and in
worst-case scenarios, it may still not be capable of finding a legal
value.
