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.
