Update docs to reflect removal of floating point support from 1.58.0

Remove floating point support for boost 1.58.0. As currently implemented, return by value operations are not reliable because normalization and other bit pattern changes can occur. Docs not updated as yet. Floating point support will be corrected and reinstated for boost 1.59.0, based on in-place customization and inplace and/or copy signatures to replace the unsafe (i.e. native_to_big/little ) by value returns. The big/little_to_native return by value functions are safe, but require reimplementation.

Revert the default (*_t) types to unaligned, and used *_at to identify the aligned types. See mini-review thread for rationale.

Rearranges rows and columns in tables. Add big_int8_t, big_uint8_t, little_int8_t, little_uint8_t arithmetic and buffer types, in response to mini-review query.

For X86 and X64 architectures, which permit unaligned loads and stores, unaligned little endian buffer and arithmetic types use regular loads and stores when the size is exact. This makes unaligned little endian buffer and arithmetic types significantly more efficient on these architectures.(Pull request from Jeremy Maitin-Shepard) Docs updated, but timing results have not yet been updated.

Finalize buffer and arithmetic decomposition. Finalize name changes. Finalize test cases. Remove cruft. Docs still to do.

Rename endian_buffer typedefs. New names a bit longer, but also a bit more explicit and more obviously related to endian_arithmetic typedefs.

Major renaming. Class "endian" becomes class "endian_arithmetic" to mimic the C++ standard's description of such types as "arithmetic types". Rename header accordingly. The convenience typedefs have been changed shorten aligned names, as they are often being, but keeping the unaligned type names relatively short via a simple "_ut" suffix.

Remove "operator value_type() const noexcept" from buffers. Make the buffer ctor explicit. Buffers were requested by people who do not want automatic conversions because they want full control over conversions, and are very concerned about "efficiency".
...
Add "operator value_type() const noexcept" to the endian arithmetic types. These types are used by people who do want fully automatic conversions. The arithmetic types need to be drop-in replacements for the built-in arithmetic types for these users.

Initial commit buffers.hpp and related infrastructure. A separate buffer class without arithmetic operators was requested during the formal review.
