Issue 192: Have Number Provide Complex Conjugate Message (#235)

* Added a complexConjugate message to the Short Float.

* Moved the method to the parent class.

* Added a failing test to get passing for next session

* Integer now responds to the complexConjugate message.

* Moved the methods up to Number

* Tested that the complex conjugate of a real fraction is itself.

* We cannot instanciate a fraction whose numerator and denominator are complex numbers. It may be that we need to normalise the
denominator first.

* We can now write fractions of complex numbers that have already been normalized.

* Added a test to demonstrate that we can write a complex number whose
real and imaginary parts are Fractions.

* Remove unnecessary comment.

* Corrected the name of the test method.

* May not make sense to convert a complex number to an integer, so inlined method and corrected a programmer test.

* Clarified the category of the tests.

* Clarified the category of the messages.
