[Free42] Numbers reformatted in program mode

[Paul Dale]

With BCD coded reals, there is no digit conversion required
A normalisation step would have to be done, so digit entry would be slightly slower than storing the number natively.

It must have been fun dealing with binary floating point numbers and decimal fractions that change the number. 0.1 being converted to 0.1000000000000000055511151231257827021181583404541015625 when stored as an IEEE 64 bit number. I guess digits after the 12^th can be rounded away which gives a solution.
