Target FP: Introduce target-float.{c,h}

This patch introduces the new set of target floating-point handling routines
in target-float.{c,h}.  In the end, the intention is that this file will
contain support for all operations in target FP format, fully replacing
both the current doublest.{c,h} and dfp.{c,h}.

To begin with, this patch only adds a target_float_is_zero routine,
which handles the equivalent of decimal_is_zero for both binary and
decimal FP.  For the binary case, to avoid conversion to DOUBLEST,
this is implemented using the floatformat_classify routine.

However, it turns out that floatformat_classify actually has a bug
(it was not used to check for zero before), so this is fixed as well.

The new routine is used in both value_logical_not and valpy_nonzero.

There is one extra twist: the code previously used value_as_double
to convert to DOUBLEST and then compare against zero.  That routine
performs an extra task: it detects invalid floating-point values
and raises an error.  In any place where value_as_double is removed
in favor of some target-float.c routine, we need to replace that check.

To keep this check centralized in one place, I've added a new routine
is_floating_value, which returns a boolean determining whether a
value's type is floating point (binary or decimal), and if so, also
performs the validity check.  Since we need to check whether a value
is FP before calling any of the target-float routines anyway, this
seems a good place to add the check without much code size overhead.

In some places where we only want to check for floating-point types
and not perform a validity check (e.g. for the *output* of an operation),
we can use the new is_floating_type routine (in gdbarch) instead.

The validity check itself is done by a new target_float_is_valid
routine in target-float, encapsulating floatformat_is_valid.
