Assert() is the wrong thing to do in here.  Drawn-perpendicular lines
may not intersect because of precision loss.  We have to check it and
return NULL.  There a few of those that we crash, or return garbage,
or get NULL and fail in DirectFunctionCall()s.  The next patch
"line-fixes" fixes them.

Commits

  1. Improve test coverage of geometric types

  2. Fix problems in handling the line data type

  3. Use the built-in float datatypes to implement geometric types

  4. Remove remaining GEODEBUG references from geo_ops.c

  5. Provide separate header file for built-in float types

  6. Refactor geometric functions and operators

  7. Fix crash in close_ps() for NaN input coordinates.

  8. Fix GiST index build for NaN values in geometric types.

  9. Enable building with Visual Studion 2013.

  10. Suppress -0 in the C field of lines computed by line_construct_pts().
