README for fast_float v7.0.0

We're using the fast_float library1 in our (compiled-in) floating-point fast_float_strtod implementation for faster and more portable parsing of 64 decimal strings.

The single file fast_float.h is an amalgamation of the entire library, which can be (re)generated with the amalgamate.py script (from the fast_float repository) via the command

git clone https://github.com/fastfloat/fast_float
cd fast_float
git checkout v7.0.0
python3 ./script/amalgamate.py --license=MIT \
