Task apache#32: Add float32/float64 predicate pushdown support (apache#76)

- Extended ORC adapter to extract float/double statistics
- Added NaN filtering in adapter (statistics with NaN are rejected)
- Added IEEE 754 edge case handling in DeriveFieldGuarantee
- Handles infinity values correctly (valid bounds)
- Handles signed zero correctly (-0.0 == +0.0)
- Added comprehensive float predicate pushdown tests
- Tests cover: basic filtering, double precision, infinity, signed zero, ranges

Implementation details:
- ORC FLOAT/DOUBLE types now return min/max statistics
- NaN values filtered at adapter level for safety
- Float-specific validation in predicate evaluation
- 5 test cases covering all edge cases from allium spec

Verified: arrow_orc target builds successfully
