Split the code for parsing hexadecimal floating point numbers from the
code for parsing the decimal floating point numbers so that the parsing
can be faster for both of them.
This decreases the time for the benchmark in release mode by about 15%,
which noticeably beats GLibc.
Old version: 2.299s
New version: 1.893s
GLibc: 2.133s
Tests run by running the following command 10 times for each version:
time ~/llvm-project/build/bin/libc_str_to_float_comparison_test ~/parse-number-fxx-test-data/data/*
the parse-number-fxx-test-data-repository is here:

It's important to build llvm-libc in Release mode for accurate
performance comparisons against glibc (set -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release in
your cmake).
You also have to build the libc_str_to_float_comparison_test target.
