Damien George 84895f1a21 py/parsenum: Improve parsing of floating point numbers.
This patch improves parsing of floating point numbers by converting all the
digits (integer and fractional) together into a number 1 or greater, and
then applying the correct power of 10 at the very end.  In particular the
multiple "multiply by 0.1" operations to build a fraction are now combined
together and applied at the same time as the exponent, at the very end.

This helps to retain precision during parsing of floats, and also includes
a check that the number doesn't overflow during the parsing.  One benefit
is that a float will have the same value no matter where the decimal point
is located, eg 1.23 == 123e-2.

# test parsing of floats
inf = float('inf')
# it shouldn't matter where the decimal point is if the exponent balances the value
print(float('1234') - float('0.1234e4'))
print(float('1.015625') - float('1015625e-6'))
# very large integer part with a very negative exponent should cancel out
print(float('9' * 60 + 'e-60'))
print(float('9' * 60 + 'e-40'))
print(float('9' * 60 + 'e-20') == float('1e40'))
# many fractional digits
print(float('.' + '9' * 70))
print(float('.' + '9' * 70 + 'e20'))
print(float('.' + '9' * 70 + 'e-50') == float('1e-50'))
# tiny fraction with large exponent
print(float('.' + '0' * 60 + '1e10') == float('1e-51'))
print(float('.' + '0' * 60 + '9e25'))
print(float('.' + '0' * 60 + '9e40'))
