Add ALL | SOURCE as 1st and LOOSE | STRICT as 2nd new suboptions to RULES(NOLAXSCALE)

We would like to get 2 new suboptions to RULES(NOLAXSCALE):

- ALL (default) or SOURCE as 1st suboption with the same meanings like for all other options.
- LOOSE (default) or STRICT as 2nd suboption to enhance the coverage to compiler generated temporaries.

LOOSE works as today and reports user written declares and ROUND with binary fractions only.
STRICT covers in addition compiler generated temporaries of any FIXED BIN(p,q) with q <> 0.
