[issue8257] Decimal constructor to accept float

[Raymond Hettinger]

Raymond Hettinger <rhettinger at users.sourceforge.net> added the comment:

Éric, there is no place to deprecate Decimal.from_float().  It will be redundant but there is no need to break working code.  Also, it has the nice property of being explicit about what it is doing.
