Store precision of DECFLOAT in RDB$FIELDS
-----------------------------------------

                 Key: CORE-5705
                 URL: http://tracker.firebirdsql.org/browse/CORE-5705
             Project: Firebird Core
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Engine
            Reporter: Mark Rotteveel
            Priority: Minor


Currently when creating a DECFLOAT(16) or DECFLOAT(34) column, the 
RDB$FIELD_PRECISION is left NULL. I think it would be helpful if this column is 
populated with the specified precision (16 or 34).

This has the advantage of forwards compatibility, if we ever decide to support 
DECFLOAT(n) with values other than 16 or 34, but backed by the current 
Decimal64 or Decimal128 storage.
