FpML-EQD Change Equity Option field from Integer to decimal

[Robert Masri <rmasri@xxxxxxxx>]

We have received requests from dealers to allow the Index Option multiplier
to support decimals.
In the fpml-eqd-4-3.xsd scheme, the
EquityOptionTransactionSupplemen.multiplier element should have its type
changed from "xsd:positiveInteger"  to "xsd:decimal".


The change has been bolded below:
