Strange offset in float_to_bits.c

[Frank A. Stevenson]

I made this change:

                        break;
-               rc = process_sym_fl(0.3f, fl);

                sym_int2bits(rc, bits);
                //printf("%2d %1u %1u  %f\n", rc, bits[0], bits[1], fl);

Which improved decoding rate on correctly tuned captures. I think this
0.3 offset is an oversight that will generally increase BER.

In other news, I have gotten my own GPU (openCL) assisted demodulator
working, I am thinking about decoding multiple carriers concurrently
with this code, but I think the gnu_radio demodulator has an edge with
regards to BER, especially if the offset is set to 0.0f :-)
