Grab the low-hanging fruit from forcing USE_FLOAT8_BYVAL to true.
Remove conditionally-compiled code for the other case.
Replace uses of FLOAT8PASSBYVAL with constant "true", mainly because
it was quite confusing in cases where the type we were dealing with
wasn't float8.
I left the associated pg_control and Pg_magic_struct fields in place.
Perhaps we should get rid of them, but it would save little, so it
doesn't seem worth thinking hard about the compatibility implications.
I just labeled them "vestigial" in places where that seemed helpful.
