Stop strip_float_extensions removing binary/decimal conversions


In the course of looking at various optimizations relating to
floating-point conversions I noticed that strip_float_extensions would
remove not only genuine extensions (conversions preserving all values)
but also conversions between binary and decimal floating-point types,
and that in turn this could cause some optimizations using this
function to perform bad transformations, as illustrated by the test
case added by this patch.

Even with -funsafe-math-optimizations I do not think it makes sense
for the compiler to remove conversions between binary and decimal
floating-point types - or to introduce such conversions, as the code
in strip_float_extensions might have done given a decimal constant
that can be represented in float.  This patch unconditionally stops
strip_float_extensions from doing so.  Bootstrapped with no
regressions on i686-pc-linux-gnu.  OK to commit?

	* convert.c (strip_float_extensions): Do not remove or introduce
	conversions between binary and decimal floating-point types.
