Latest libgdx's json loader changed behavior for Long/Floats

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Using the latest libgdx, the BodyEditorLoader will throw an exception as soon 
as it try to cast a Long to a Float since the current behavior changed.

The fix is quite easy: just perform an "instanceof" check before casting and 
choose the right type before performing the type conversion.

As an example, here is what i'm doing:

    rbModel.origin.x = (originElem.get("x") instanceof Float) ? (Float)originElem.get("x") : (Long)originElem.get("x");
    rbModel.origin.y = (originElem.get("y") instanceof Float) ? (Float)originElem.get("y") : (Long)originElem.get("y");

This has to be done for polygons and circles as well.

You should be able to drop it in place of the old one.

montecil, you can just create the package aurelienribon.bodyeditor and put 
manuel's patch in. However, I attached a compiled .jar which you can use 
instead if you prefer.
