[tarantool-patches] [PATCH v2 0/2] Introduce decimal type to tarantool core.

[Serge Petrenko]

https://github.com/tarantool/tarantool/tree/sp/gh-692-introduce-decimal

This patchset adds a new type, decimal fixed-point, to tarantool.

The first patch adds decNumber library as a submodule.
The second patch adds a small wrapper to the library to make it work
with fixed-point decimal values, and adds a unit test.

To evaluate number precision and scale from exponent and the amount of
significant digits the following formulas are applied:
  If exponent < 0 then precision = MAX(digits, -exponent) and scale = -exponent
  If exponent > 0 then precision = digits + exponent, and scale = 0

Changes in v2:
  - get rid of explicit precision and scale,
    evaluate them from decNumber digits and exponent.
  - decimal is now an alias for decNumber
  - ln, log10, exp, sqrt, pow now accept precision to
    which the result should be rounded.
