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.
