The overloads are imo not needed, if x is randomly positive/negative the following code is much
better than the current implementation:

function Floor(x : float) : Integer;Inline;
  begin
    Result := Trunc(x)-ord(Frac(x)<0);
  end;

I adjusted the inline heuristics so the Floor code above is completely folded for constant arguments.

If the typed constants are declared as read only, we could treat them as real constants. Maybe at
least in -O4 mode?
