Floating-point constant tightening.
* parser.l (grammar): Change order of rule which recognizes FLODOT with a one-character trailing context other than a dot, and the rule which diagnoses trailing junk. The issue is that this order gives the wrong interpretation to 123.E, treating it as 123. followed by E rather than trailing junk, like in the case of 123.0E or 123.B. * txr.1: Adding the valid example 1.E5. Removing references to dot as consing dot. Fixed documentation which says that 1.E is 1 followed by a consing dot and E. The wrong behavior in fact produced 1.0 followed by E. No consing dot semantics.
