The fix consists in representing float literals by their bit patterns (int64) in the Mach and Linear intermediate languages.
A regression test was added to the test suite.
A change on trunk in cmmgen was causing problems: the use of array_indexing
in bigarray_indexing was constructing derived pointers of Addr type
instead of the correct Int type. (Because bigarray inner pointers
are outside the heap, and because they are live across allocations.)
Added an optional argument to array_indexing to specify expected
pointer type, and adapted bigarray_indexing to use it with type Int.

- Register type "Addr" is split into
. "Val" (well-formed OCaml values, appropriate as GC roots)
. "Addr" (derived pointers within the heap, must not survive a GC)
- memory_chunk "Word" is split into
. "Word_val" (OCaml value)
. "Word_int" (native-sized integer, not a pointer into the heap)
Cmmgen was updated to use Word_val or Word_int as appropriate.
Application #1: fail at compile-time if a derived pointer within the heap
survives a GC point (cf. PR#6484).
Application #2: CSE can do a better job across allocation points
(keep factoring expressions of type Int, Val, Float, but not Addr).

the x87 FP stack, which must not be eliminated.
CSEgen: harden against the same x87-specific issue + against reuse of
values in fixed hardware registers that were destroyed by a prior
operation.

(Reuses results of previous computations instead of recomputing them.)
(Cherry-picked from branch backend-optim.)
Tested on amd64/linux and i386/linux.
Other back-ends compile (after assorted updates) but are untested.

Constant propagation for floats can be turned off with option
-no-float-const-prop, for codes that change FP rounding modes at
run-time.
- Clambda / C-- / Mach: represent float constants as FP numbers of type
float rather than literals of type string.
- Tested for AMD64; other archs need testing.

This way we can avoid having to duplicate the same functionality for
every backend, and we may also benefit from other optimizations performed
during C-- generation.
