parse double and floats

[leon]

When type is xs:double or xs:float we use parseFloat to convert it to javascript.

I'm unsure why this hasn't been done.
Maybe you have a good reason as to why you are not converting floats or doubles.
But since usually people want the data in their native form, I thought I'd suggest this atleast.

Tests:
There were 28 failing tests in master, so I was unable to write any tests.
I'd gladly write tests once master is passing again.

thanks a lot @leon - it seems that #979 broke our build when it was merged in... somehow Travis CI/Coveralls wasn't running 🤕

I hope we get this fixed very soon - seems like #984 is a follow up to the breaking PR which will fix these issues.... I'll notify you once we're up and running again 💯

@leon I've updated master with a fix for the bug introduced from #979. Can you rebase and update your branch?

[herom]

@leon I restarted Travis CI and all current tests pass - could you please add tests for your PR? 👍

Where do we test all the other serializations?
I couldn't find where we test all the simple types.

Could you also add parsing of xs:long and xs:decimal ?

I've just come across this issue as didn't realise that type "double" wasn't being converted.

Can I help get this PR merged? Given how old this PR is I'm guessing @leon has probably moved on to something else?

Do you want me to submit a new PR with some tests?

[alexb-uk]

Having said that I think it's safer to convert using Number(text).

need a test added and conflicts resolved
