Bug description:float - (int) float is sometimes bigger than 1

Description:
------------
I've seen this issue recur many times over the last few years, but never
figured out exactly what causes it.

This code:
https://github.com/pmmp/PocketMine-MP/blob/3dae87373154ad52ff6c27874f3fd93c9845a8af/src/pocketmine/entity/Human.php#L396
is intended to take a float and split it into its whole-number part (the
first argument) and its fractional part (the second argument).

However, sometimes I see crashes like these show in my telemetry:

Value 1.0323429203787 is outside the range 0 - 1

with a trace like this:

#1 pmsrc/src/pocketmine/entity/Human(396):
pocketmine\entity\Human->setXpAndProgress(integer 9, double
1.0323429203787)
#2 pmsrc/src/pocketmine/entity/Human(409):
pocketmine\entity\Human->setCurrentTotalXp(integer 158)

To the best of my understanding, this should be impossible.

For context, passing 158 into setCurrentTotalXp() causes $newLevel to
become float(9.922847983320086), which, when run through the offending
code on **my** machine, yields this result:

(int) $newLevel = int(9)
$newLevel - (int) $newLevel = float(0.9228479833200858)

which looks correct.

I have no idea what causes this problem and have never been able to
reproduce it firsthand, but such issues have appeared so frequently and
across several PHP versions that I believe this is a bug in PHP itself.

Expected result:
----------------
float - (int) float should never be larger than 1.

Actual result:
--------------
float - (int) float is sometimes slightly larger than 1.
