Tracing for floating point values

Currently, the TRACE_RESULTS web of macros/functions in
sim/common/cgen-trace.c don't know how to handle the 'f' printf-type for SF
and DF operands. Only 'D' and 'x' are handled at present.
I set about fixing this yesterday. There were two approaches I considered:
* use the host's native printf %x. Comments in sim-fpu.[hc]
indicate this is a bad mistake. There's no guarantee that the
host will use the same floating point representation as the
target.
* use sim_fpu's sim_fpu_print_fpu to output the real number
using cgen_trace_printf as its callback (which works nicely).
However, we get very detailed output!
fr <- +1.0000,0000,0000,0000,0000,0000,0000,0000,0000,0000,0000,0000,0000,0000,0000*2^+0
Which way seems right to jump?
