Float.MantExp and Float.SetMantExp.

This change represents Accuracy as a bit pattern rather than
an ordered value; with a new value Undef which is both Below
and Above.

This change introduces NaNs (for situations like Inf-Inf, etc.).
The implementation is incomplete (the four basic operations produce
a NaN if any of the operands is an Inf or a NaN); and some operations
produce incorrect accuracy for NaN arguments. These are known bugs
which are documented.

MinPrec returns the minimum precision required to represent a Float
without loss of precision. Added test.

Some rounding modes are affected by the sign of the value to
be rounded. Make sure the sign is set before round is called.
Added tests (that failed before the fix).

Also: remove NewFloat - not needed anymore. Work-around for places
where has been used so far:
NewFloat(x, prec, mode) === new(Float).SetMode(mode).SetPrec(prec).SetFloat64(x)
However, if mode == ToNearestEven, SetMode is not needed. SetPrec
is needed if the default precision (53 after SetFloat64) is not
adequate.

- clarified representation of +/-Inf
- only 0 and Inf values can have 0 precision
- a zero precision value used as result value takes the max precision
of the arguments (to be fine-tuned for setters)
- the zero precision approach makes Float zero values possible
(they represent +0)

Implemented:
- +, -, *, /, and some unary ops
- all rounding modes
- basic conversions
- string to float conversion
- tests
Missing:
- float to string conversion, formatting
- handling of +/-0 and +/-inf (under- and overflow)
- various TODOs and cleanups
With precision set to 24 or 53, the results match
float32 or float64 operations exactly (excluding
NaNs and denormalized numbers which will not be
supported).
