The integer_decode() function decodes a float (f32/f64)
into integers containing the mantissa, exponent and sign.

It's needed for rationalize() implementation of #9838.

The code got ported from ABCL [1].

I got the permission to use this code for Rust from Peter Graves (the ABCL copyright holder) . If there's any further IP clearance needed, let me know.
