Before this commit, sorted set negative scores were stored after
all positive scores because of their binary representation.
For example:
This commit introduces the FloatCodec class to encode/decode floats into bytes and vice-versa, preserving their numerical order.
For example, the following list is encoded to bytes while keeping and preserves its numerical order:
