This commit also splits hostname backup and configuration into two separate
functions. This allows us to backup hostname without setting it at the
same time.

Having float type as a base type for floating point parameters in
ipalib introduces several issues, e.g. problem with representation
or value comparison. Python language provides a Decimal type which
help overcome these issues.
This patch replaces a float type and Float parameter with a
decimal.Decimal type in Decimal parameter. A precision attribute
was added to Decimal parameter that can be used to limit a number
of decimal places in parameter representation. This approach fixes
a problem with API.txt validation where comparison of float values
may fail on different architectures due to float representation error.
In order to safely transfer the parameter value over RPC it is
being converted to string which is then converted back to
decimal.Decimal number on a server side.

"Extending FreeIPA" is a developer guide of FreeIPA core framework.
Please make sure to improve the guide every time parts of the core framework
are affected by your changes. This document ideally should correspond to
the current state of the framework.
The Guide is written using Emacs Org Mode but can be edited with any
plain text editing tool. Emacs is only required to convert it to
distribution formats like HTML and TXT.
See guide/Makefile for building the guide and README for details of
the build environment.
