Use static inline functions for float <-> Datum conversions.
Now that we are OK with using static inline functions, we can use them
to avoid function call overhead of pass-by-val versions of Float4GetDatum,
DatumGetFloat8, and Float8GetDatum. Those functions are only a few CPU
instructions long, but they could not be written into macros previously,
because we need a local union variable for the conversion.
I kept the pass-by-ref versions as regular functions. They are very simple
too, but they call palloc() anyway, so shaving a few instructions from the
function call doesn't seem so important there.
