cbe: handle msvc struct casting quirk

MSVC can't explicitly cast a struct to a typedef of itself (ie. f128 to i128). Added a
set of macros to handle float casting, and to not produce a cast for this specific
case on MSVC. A better approach would probably be to know if the cast is redundant
and not do it.
