Remove unneeded VAX compatibility layers #42

Closed hamogu closed 7 months ago

jdfits has and ieee.c ton convert VAX floating point numbers to IEEE format. As far as I can tell from a cursory glance, the "main" function there does some diagnostic to help write code that convert for other systems from internal to IEEE. There is no need to support VAX any longer and essentially every system today has IEEE floating point numbers, so I think that module (and associated pre-processor variables) can be removed.
