gas: make 2nd argument of .dcb.* consistently optional

Unlike the forms consuming/producing integer data, the floating point
ones so far required the 2nd argument to be present, contrary to
documentation. To avoid code duplication, split float_length() out of
hex_float() (taking the opportunity to adjust error message wording).
