[Lognorm] PR for field-type 'float' and field-types for parsing suffixed-values('suffixed' and 'named_suffixed')

[singh.janmejay]

Sounds good.

Also, noticed we don't enable test-bench and valgrind on travis. It'll
be very useful to have them enabled for travis. Also, we should
probably enable regex too on travis(infact all optional things should
be enabled to exercise as many tests as possible).

Shall I do this in current PR?
