Can we make sleep accept int|float?
Made a PR: https://github.com/php/php-src/pull/13401

For years when I wanted to sleep for 0.1 seconds, it annoyed me that I
couldn't do
`sleep(0.1);`
instead I had to do
`usleep(figure out how many microseconds there are in 0.1 seconds and put
it here);`

FWIW Python's `time.sleep` also works like this:
https://docs.python.org/3/library/time.html#time.sleep
