Unable to encode double or float data types

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. create a message containing data type 'double'
2. create an instance of the message, fill the field with floating point data
3. write the message to data output -> error

This is related to a patch made in r12

Error: Tried to write primative field type, but type was not valid

I assume that you were writing a "Number" type into the double field, since 
that fits
the trace.

It is true that this should be correctly handled: as3 Number will fit into a
gpb double. However the question remains how to convert Number to a bytearray 
(no
bits operation allowed because of Number limitation)...

Hi Matthijs,

I've checked in a tentative fix for this on trunk latest. Do you mind testing 
it?
