This PR adds a variety of fixed-numbers numbers to ILGPU.Algorithms. In contrast to our fixed-precision types, these types are based on 10-based decimal places instead of powers of two. This allows many users in the field of scientific computing to reliably map their use cases to these fixed precision types.
Special thanks to @dfki-mako and @dfki-jugr for sharing their code with us and giving us the ability to upstream this code. This PR is based on their initial work and reshapes it to make it reusable and seamlessly integratabtle with the ILGPU code base.
