Switch qreal from float to double on android ?

[mingw android]

Personally in my coding career I rarely have needed double precision.

"In speed terms, there's no difference between float and double on the more
modern hardware. Space-wise, double is 2x larger. As with desktop machines,
assuming space isn't an issue, you should prefer double to float. "

This doesn't take caches or memory latency into account so needs to be
taken with a large pinch of salt!

I think some benchmarking on a real real-heavy workload would be useful
here, maybe some image processing with a qreal for each colour component?
