MDEV-20286 mariabackup fails when innodb_max_dirty_pages_pct contains a fraction (is not an integer)

This is a port of the Percona Server commit 5265f42e290573e9591f8ca28ab66afc051f89a3

which is the same as their bug PXB-1807: xtrabackup does not accept fractional values for
innodb_max_dirty_pages_pct

Problem:

Variable specified as double in MySQL server, but read as long in the
xtrabackup. This causes xtrabackup to fail at startup when the value
contains decimal point.

Fix:

Make xtrabackup to interpret the value as double to be compatible with
server.
