Output of toXML() for <real>s is locale-dependent and causes creation of invalid PList-XML #67

Description

@stefanschramm

Describe the bug
When using a locale that uses commas (,) instead of points (.) as decimal delimiter, the output of CFPropertyList::toXML() uses this charater for <real>s which is invalid PList-Data. The cause is probably some implicit toString conversion that will use the current locale.

To Reproduce
Execute this script:

<?php
use CFPropertyList\CFPropertyList;
require_once('vendor/autoload.php');
$example = <<<EOF
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple Computer//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0"><dict><key>ExampleReal</key><real>1.5</real></dict></plist>
EOF;
setlocale(LC_ALL, 'de_DE.UTF-8');
$plist = new CFPropertyList();
$plist->parse($example);
echo $plist->toXML();

It's output will be:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0"><dict><key>ExampleReal</key><real>1,5</real></dict></plist>

Expected behavior
This output:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0"><dict><key>ExampleReal</key><real>1.5</real></dict></plist>

(1.5 instead of 1,5)
