  Log Message:
  -----------
  Support for IEEE754 binary64 format in XRLs

* New atom type fp64

* <libxipc/fp64.h> selects alias fp64_t for most compatible
  native C type.  Native type's characteristics are echoed with
  corresponding macros (analogous to DBL_MIN, etc).

* <libxipc/fp64serial.h> (de)serializes fp64_t into
  uint_fast64_t.

* New methods for fp64_t added on XrlAtom and XrlArgs.

* Added fp64 to xif types, mapping to fp64_t in C++ and double
  for Thrift.

* Extended atom and args tests to include fp64_t.

* Added fp64_t serialization test.  (It always succeeds for now,
  but might be useful for diagnostics.)

* Added method to test XIF to demonstrate fp64 type.
