This finally gets rid of the remaining
S_PARTIALFLOAT*
scanner states, simplifying parsing/scanning of float literals further.It also fixes our treatment of overlong identifiers: the manual has always claimed that these are truncated at 1023 chars, but instead truncated to 1022 chars. I changed this to match the manual, as there is really no technical reason to truncate at 1022, and no serious existing code can be affected negatively by adding support for slightly longer identifiers.
While at it, I also made some other minor scanner/reader cleanups.
Fixes #1104
