- New trait HasBinaryPoint which provides literal values as double and big decimal

- made .F and .I work for creating fixed point and interval lits from big decimal
- Added NumObject trait which provides new math conversions
- Made a Num object that extends NumObject
- Add this trait to FixedPoint and Interval for backward compatibility
- Removed code that is now in NumObject, keeping things DRY
- Add tests to FixedPointSpec to show lit conversion to double and big decimal
- Add tests to IntervalSpec to show lit conversion to double and big decimal
- Add tests to LiteralExtractorSpec to show general math conversions between BigInts with binary points and double and big decimal
