Subject: Add primitive floats to 'vm_compute'

* This commit add float instructions to the VM, their encoding in bytecode
  and the interpretation of primitive float values after the reduction.

* The flag '-std=c99' could be added to the C compiler flags to ensure
  that float computation strictly follows the norm (ie. i387 80-bits
  format is not used as an optimization).

  Actually, we use '-fexcess-precision=standard' instead of '-std=c99'
  because the latter would disable GNU asm used in the VM.
