Allow building jq in a mode that doesn't use decnumber for benchmarking
purposes. decnumber support is enabled by default, and this option is
meant to be removed once we're happy with the performance.
Extend jv_number to use decNumber for storing number literals. Any math
operations on the numbers will truncate them to double precision.
Comparisons when both numbers are literal numbers will compare them
without truncation.
Delay conversion of numbers to doubles until a math operation is performed,
to preserve precision. A literal jv_number will only need conversion to
double once, and will reuse the resultant double on subsequent
conversions.
Outputting literal jv_numbers preserves the original precision.
Add strong pthread requirement to manage contexts/allocations for
converting numbers between their decNumber, string, and double formats.
