Decimal formatting in GPX 1.0 and 1.1 - mrihtar - 16.10.2017

Hi Christian,
I've noticed some missing formatting of decimals in GPX 1.0 and 1.1, so I've put together a fix in my Github clone. Maybe it's not the best solution, but serves the purpose. You might take a look at the last two commits in https://github.com/mrihtar/RouteConverter/commits/master .

Dear mrihtar,

I've been trying to understand the commits.
Did the case that a double isNaN() really occur with your files?
Why didn't you introduce a method to check double for null and isNaN()?
Why did you increase the accuracy of elevation to centimeters when it's decimals at best?

For GPX 1.1 I introduced two new formatting functions formatSpeedAsDouble() and formatTemperatureAsDouble(), which call formatDouble, which returns NaN in case of null. Because of that I had to fix isEmpty(), reorganize setting the value (maybe not necessary) and added some additional checks for isNaN (again maybe not necessary).

I just set the same accuracy as it was already set in formatElevationAsString() (= 2). Maybe both should be at 1 then?

Please double check the changes in this branch: https://github.com/cpesch/RouteConverter/tree/accuracy-fixes

Are they ok for you?

Since I've received no reply and need to go on with development, I've merge the https://github.com/cpesch/RouteConverter/tree/accuracy-fixes branch
