Add explanation of decimal literals and decimal pseudo-constants

[BillWagner]

Type of issue

Outdated article

Description

This article should include coverage of decimal literals (such as 12.34m). It should add that in C#, you can declare const decimal values. However, those are represented in IL as static readonly variables with the DecimalConstant attribute applied to them.
