Feature suggestion: Add static equals methods to Float and Double

[some-java-user-99206970363698485155 at vodafonemail.de]

My main goal was to provide a way where NaN is equal to NaN and I went with the behavior of the 
respective wrapper classes, Float and Double, which consider -0.0 and +0.0 as not equal.
The static method could be called "exactlyEquals" if that is better.

It might also depend on the usecase whether you want -0.0 being equal to +0.0. Maybe an additional 
method would be required for the case you are describing, e.g. "valueEquals" (though that can be 
ambiguous).
