Using a fixed version of the double-conversion library rather
then master prevents accidental future breakage.

Floating point numbers are no longer encoded as a one to one mapping
of their binary representation, but as short as possible (while still
being acurate). The double-conversion library [1] is used to do the
hard work.

The ECMAScript compatible conversion is used.

I must've originally copied this config from Emonk.

- Include Windows preprocessor definitions that rebar is missing
- Minor changes to optimisation flags

This prevents applications that depend on Jiffy from requiring PropEr as
a dependency just to run Jiffy's full test suite. If you want to run the
full test suite you'll have to run Jiffy's Makefile directly which
creates a `.jiffy.dev` marker that enables the full test suite.

I've had reports that HTTPS seems to fail a bit more often than the Git
URLs. I've seen this before as well so I've gone ahead and switched
protocols for the clone.

* Update rebar to a more recent version
  * Update rebar.config for deprecation warnings
  * Allow people to export the REBAR environment variable to use
    their own version of rebar
  * Fixed `make clean`

Big thanks to Dmitry Groshev [1] for help getting PropEr tests into
Jiffy. These generate valid EJSON to check parsing as well as check
that random inputs don't cause segfaults or other nasty effects.

Future improvements would be to write a JSON generator as well as a
version that introduces known errors into the binary for checking known
parsing errors as well.
