Reject option 9: digit separators in floats (before decimal point)

Per WG17 decision, options 9-11 (float digit separators) are rejected
for consistency. This commit implements rejection of option 9 which
allowed digit separators before the decimal point (e.g., "1_0.0").

Changes:
- Modified skip_underscore_in_number() to return (char, bool) tuple
  tracking whether an underscore was encountered
- Updated number_token() to track had_separator flag throughout parsing
- Added check before decimal point: reject if separators were used
- Error type: ParseBigInt (cannot parse as float with separators)

Tests:
- Added 3 tests verifying option 9 rejection via number_chars and atoms
- All tests now pass with proper error handling
- Integer separators (1_000) still work correctly
- Floats without separators (10.0) still work correctly

Behavior:
- BEFORE: number_chars(N, "1_0.0") → N = 10.0 (unexpected)
- AFTER:  number_chars(N, "1_0.0") → error(syntax_error(...))

This addresses UWN's feedback that option 9 should be rejected for
consistency since options 10 and 11 (separators after decimal point
and in exponents) are also not supported.
