[Xml-compile] $_[0] + 0.0 for sloppy floats

[Chase Whitener]

I think Mojo::JSON handled the booleans about as well as can be expected
with Perl.

examples:

perl -Mojo -E 'my $true_scalar = "1"; my $false_scalar = "0"; say j([1,
"1", \1, Mojo::JSON->true, \$true_scalar, 0, "0", \0, Mojo::JSON->false,
\$false_scalar])'

perl -Mojo -E 'say j([1, \1, Mojo::JSON->true])'
