Summary description:  Define pgfmath functions using xfp

Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
 
 The pgfmath-xfp package allows to define pgfmath functions
 that use the xfp fpu for their calculations.

 The input arguments are parsed with pgfmath (while the pgf-fpu
 is locally active) and the results are forwarded to xfp's fpu
 for the function evaluation.  The result of that calculation
 is then parsed by pgfmath again (with the surrounding settings
 of pgfmath). This way the functions should be usable in every
 pgfmath context, though there is some overhead to this approach.

 The package is only meant as a temporary stopgap until a
 more dedicated solution is available to use xfp in pgf.
