Replace Ryu with a C99 port of fast_float#1006

Contrary to Ryu, it remains correct up to 18 mantissa digits, meaning we don't have to fallback as much to Ruby's much slower `rb_cstr_to_dbl`. On `canada.json`, the most number heavy benchmark, `ffp_s2d` is less than 5% of total runtime. Most of the time is actually sent parsing, not decoding. There is a more complete C99 port of `fast_float` at https://github.com/kolemannix/ffc.h which also does parsing and could be worth considering, however it might make it much harder to detect when we're outside the safe range and to fallback, so unclear if it would be a win. Credit to Tilo Sloboda for the C99 port (sligthly reworked). ``` == Parsing citm_catalog.json (500124 bytes) ruby 4.0.5 (2026-05-20 revision 64336ffd0e) +YJIT +PRISM [arm64-darwin25] Warming up -------------------------------------- after 73.000 i/100ms Calculating ------------------------------------- after 733.301 (± 1.0%) i/s (1.36 ms/i) - 3.723k in 5.077044s Comparison: before: 716.8 i/s after: 733.3 i/s - 1.02x faster == Parsing float parsing (2090303 bytes) ruby 4.0.5 (2026-05-20 revision 64336ffd0e) +YJIT +PRISM [arm64-darwin25] Warming up -------------------------------------- after 35.000 i/100ms Calculating ------------------------------------- after 353.130 (± 0.3%) i/s (2.83 ms/i) - 1.785k in 5.054791s Comparison: before: 323.1 i/s after: 353.1 i/s - 1.09x faster ```
