Test against a reference IEEE754 decimal implementation #17

Description

I created https://github.com/anz-bank/decimal-reference. You can invoke it from the command line (supports cmdline args and stdin input modes) driving arbitrary operations using an RPN notation. The major caveat is that I based it on libdfp, which only wants to compile on Linux, so you need docker to run it.

It still needs to be hooked in for testing purposes, and if we can replace libdfp with a macOS-friendly library to avoid the Docker dependency, that would be awesome (though then we'd have to ensure some kind of build environment, probably Xcode, which has its own challenges).

Either way, we should stick to the cmdline/stdin approach to keep the moving parts fully decoupled.
