Edward Betts ea4980a5d7 Fix European trip return heuristic for weekend location tracking
Adjust European short trip heuristic from >3 days to >1 day to correctly
detect when user has returned home from European trips. This fixes the
April 29-30, 2023 case where the location incorrectly showed "Sankt Georg, Hamburg"
instead of "Bristol" when the user was free (no events scheduled) after
the foss-north trip ended on April 27.

The previous logic required more than 3 days to pass before assuming
return home from European countries, but for short European trips by
rail/ferry, users typically return within 1-2 days.

> A JavaScript function to parse floating point hexadecimals as defined by the [WebAssembly specification](https://webassembly.github.io/spec/core/text/values.html#text-hexfloat).
## Usage
```javascript
import parseHexFloat from '@webassemblyjs/floating-point-hex-parser'
parseHexFloat('0x1p-1') // 0.5
parseHexFloat('0x1.921fb54442d18p+2') // 6.283185307179586
```
## Tests
This module is tested in two ways. The first one is through a small set of test cases that can be found in [test/regular.test.js](https://github.com/maurobringolf/@webassemblyjs/floating-point-hex-parser/blob/master/test/regular.test.js). The second one is non-deterministic (sometimes called *fuzzing*):
1. Generate a random IEEE754 double precision value `x`.
1. Compute its representation `y` in floating point hexadecimal format using the C standard library function `printf` since C supports this format.
1. Give both values to JS testcase and see if `parseHexFloat(y) === x`.
By default one `npm test` run tests 100 random samples. If you want to do more, you can set the environment variable `FUZZ_AMOUNT` to whatever number of runs you'd like. Because it uses one child process for each sample, it is really slow though. For more details about the randomized tests see [the source](https://github.com/maurobringolf/@webassemblyjs/floating-point-hex-parser/tree/master/test/fuzzing).
