  Branch: 8.1

Remove float sorting in +. It is not supported consistently in throughout Pike.

109:      o String.trim_all_whites() renamed String.trim().    + o Floats are no longer by default sorted before added. This may reduce +  the precision but increases the speed of adding large number of +  floats by a factor of 500. Applications handling floats with large +  differences in magnitudes needs to apply the appropritate sorting +  before arithmetics. As `+ was the only operator that performed +  sorting, and functions like Array.sum did not, this was already a +  concern.      New modules   -----------
