Since you declared float8_div_safe() as static inline, I believe it
wouldn't have any performance degradation since most compilers
optimize it. Also, I suggest you pass the ErrorSafeContext to
float_overflow_error(), float_underflow_error(), and
float_zero_divide_error() so that you can avoid duplicating error
messages.
