perf tests workloads: Support sub-second durations in noploop and thloop
Currently, the noploop and thloop workloads only support sleep durations
in integer seconds because they parse the argument using atoi() and use
alarm() for timer signaling.
To support much shorter execution times in tests (speeding up test suites
and allowing faster retries), change the input parsing to use atof() for
double floating-point seconds. Use ualarm() for fractional durations less
than 1.0 seconds, and fall back to alarm() for durations of 1.0 second or
more.
