Optional<Long> and OptionalLong deserialization are not consistent when deserializing from String.

[lrpg]

Examplewith: { "someString" : "9223372036854775807" }
Optional<Long> successfully deserializes while LongDeserializer
OptionalLong does not.

It is due to the first deserializing with NumberDeserializers.LongDeserializer using _parseLong(p, ctxt)
while the latter is deserialized with OptionalLongDeserializer using jp.getLongValue.

Yes, I can see the problem here. Thank you for reporting this.

Interestingly enough, only Long variant appears to fail with 2.8, not int or double. Would have expected more coercion fails.
