[GenericGeometry::FieldHelper] Find abs() via argument-dependent lookup, or in std.

Jö Fahlke requested to merge feature/fixes-from-patches into master

This is necessary to work with custom number types. If they follow the standard they are not allowed to put their overload of abs() into namespace std.

Also, this avoids issues with the ordering of includes: if std::abs() is used, the set of candidates for abs() is fixed when the compiler sees the GenericGeometry::FieldHelper template. If the header for the custom number type is included later, any definition of abs() there won't be taken into account, even if that header puts that definition into namespace std. This is not an issue with argumend-dependent lookup.
