This is a little trick I came up with that lets us restructure our float
classification code so we can exit earlier when the float is normal,
which is the case more often than not.
First we shift left by 1 to get rid of the sign bit, and then we count
the number of leading sign bits. If the result is less than 10 (for
doubles) or 7 (for floats), the float is normal. This is because, if the
float isn't normal, the exponent is either all zeroes or all ones.
Resolve warning caused by using values from two different enums in a
conditional expression which was deprecated in c++20.
The warning in question is clang -Wdeprecated-anon-enum-enum-conversion
and gcc -Wenum-compare.

Keeps all of the floating-point utility functions in their own file to
keep them all together. This also provides a place for other
general-purpose floating-point functions to be added in the future,
which will be necessary when improving the flag-setting within the
interpreter.
