Fix regression in Data.Fixed Read instance (re #9231)
`convertFixed` operates under the wrong assumption that `Data.Fixed.resolution` returns a base-10 exponent `e`, whereas it actually returns the power-of-10 value `10^e`. So while the code (that was introduced in 5f19f951d8 / #7483) happens to compute a correct result by coincidence, it allocates huge integer values in the process (i.e. `10^(10^e)`) which cause long computations which eventually result in out-of-memory conditions for `e`-values beyond `Data.Fixed.Milli`. A proper long-term fix would probably be to extend the `HasResolution` type-class to have a 2nd method providing the `e` value.
