Support Float type fields in DBReader

[simonellistonball]

This added simple support for the Float type in DBF files, which exists in some shapefile sources.

Test to come, when I dig up appropriately licensed data.

Do you need an issue against this as well?

[harsha2010]

1. do you need new String(b) here, i am not in front of a IDE but i thought there is a set method on text which accepts a byte array and start/ end positions?
2. do you need clear on a newly allocated text object?

@simonellistonball , no need for an issue against this.. as soon as the code review is done and the test is in place, i can do a final pass and pull the patch in.
