FloatSlider with very small values

See original GitHub issue

The float widget does not display properly and is not able to “slide” (except to min and max values) if the values are very small:

order = 1e-8
widgets.FloatSlider(min=1.*order, max =5.*order, step= 0.05*order, value = 2.*order)

It looks like the smallest step value is hard-coded, however with a quick look I was not able to find anything of sort

A workaround is to use the Selection slider and to generate the values and labels you want.

from ipywidgets import SelectionSlider
values=[i*10**-8 for i in range(101)]
SelectionSlider(options=[("%g"%i,i) for i in values])

The much more invasive change is to use a different slider implementation, like mentioned above.
