  xkbcomp: Fix parser failure on floating-point numbers
  
  Before this commit we used `strtold`, which depends on the locale. But
  the XKB syntax is fixed and uses a period as decimal separator. So ensure
  the syntax is correct without relying on `strtold` and truncate the
  result, as the parser does not use floating-point numbers.

• Fixed floating-point number parsing failling on locales that use a decimal
  separator different than the period `.`.
  
  Note that the issue is unlikely to happen even with such locales, unless
  *parsing* a keymap with a *geometry* component which contains floating-point
  numbers.
  
  Affected API:
  - `xkb_keymap_new_from_file()`,
  - `xkb_keymap_new_from_buffer()`,
  - `xkb_keymap_new_from_string()`.
  
  Unaffected API:
  - `xkb_keymap_new_from_names()`: none of the components loaded use
    floating-point number. libxkbcommon does not load *geometry* files.
  - `libxkbcommon-x11`: no such parsing is involved.
