Add an implementation of the Grisu2 algorithm for binary to decimal floating-point conversion

This is an attempt to fix #360. The algorithm produces
decimal representations which are guaranteed to roundtrip
and in ~99.8% actually produces the shortest possible
representation. So this is a nice compromise between using
a precision of digits10 and max_digits10.

Note 1:

The implementation only works for IEEE single/double precision
numbers. So the old implementation is kept for compatibility
with non-IEEE implementations and 'long double'.

Note 2:

If number_float_t is 'float', not all serialized numbers can
be recovered using strtod (strtof works, though). (There is
exactly one such number and the result is off by 1 ulp.)
This can be avoided by changing the implementation (the fix
is trivial), but then the resulting decimal numbers are not
exactly short.

## Contact
If you have questions regarding the library, I would like to invite you to [open an issue at GitHub](https://github.com/nlohmann/json/issues/new). Please describe your request, problem, or question as detailed as possible, and also mention the version of the library you are using as well as the version of your compiler and operating system. Opening an issue at GitHub allows other users and contributors to this library to collaborate. For instance, I have little experience with MSVC, and most issues in this regard have been solved by a growing community. If you have a look at the [closed issues](https://github.com/nlohmann/json/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aclosed), you will see that we react quite timely in most cases.
