$ node -e 'console.log(0x0.a)'
undefined
$ qjs -e 'console.log(0x0.a)'
SyntaxError: invalid number literal
    at <cmdline>:1:1

(I have run into a polyfill that depends on this.)

To fix it I just added a base-10 check to the part of js_atof2 which
consumes the fraction part.

(I think there is no place where parsing non-decimal floats makes
sense; it could be useful for error messages if it really were an error,
but it isn't one.)

I've also added some tests to illustrate what should work.

Hello @bptato,
It would make sense for Javascript to accept hexadecimal floats such as 0x0.8 (one half) or 0x1p-1 (same).
Yet ECMA does not support this syntax and quickjs-ng aims for strictly standard Javascript, so your patch does fix a bug.

e.g. 0x0.a should return undefined, not SyntaxError.
(The code already wasn't doing anything because of the is_float check.)
