scripts: introduce float type as a string

With the upcoming softfp support, the case..esac test would become
a bit convoluted if it were to test three different booleans.

Introduce a new blind string config option that defaults to the
selected floating point type used.

     3 reporter_comment="This is a sample config file for Freescale e500v2 processors (e.g., MPC8548,

     4 MPC8572). It uses eglibc (for e500/SPE patches) and a recent gcc (4.6.0,

     5 for e500v2 DPFP support) and will generate appropriate dual-precision

     6 floating point instructions by default.

     8 Note: If building a Linux kernel with this toolchain, you will want to make

     9 sure -mno-spe AND -mspe=no are passed to gcc to prevent SPE ABI/instructions

    10 from getting into the kernel (which is currently unsupported). At this time,

    11 the kernel build system properly passes those two options, but older kernels

    12 were only passing -mno-spe by default."
