[RFC v2][0/9] Target FP: Refactor floating-point handling

This is the current version of patches 9-18 of this series:
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2017-09/msg00100.html

Patches 1-8 have already been merged in one form or another.

This series implements the refactoring of floating-point handling
by introducing files target-float.{c,h} and moving all operations
currently done in doublest.{c,h} and dfp.{c,h} there, changed to
operate on target-format byte buffers instead of DOUBLEST.

Once this refactoring is complete, the only remaining use of DOUBLEST
will be in target-float.c, where it can then be replaced by MPFR.
(This will be done by follow-up patches.)

Note that this patch series is not expected to cause any change
in behavior; it should be purely refactoring.  (The one slight
exception is the Ada fixed-point handling patch.  This one has
already been reviewed by Joel Brobecker.)

Any comments welcome!

Bye,
Ulrich

I've now pushed this series in.
