Adding Distance Calculator (wasmerio#389)

* Added program

* Delete distance_calculator.py

* Create README.md

* Added program

* Updated README.md with program

* Added example to README.md

* Fixed bugs and added feature

Fixed a bug where negative numbers were not allowed and added quit feature to quit the program

* Fixed floating point bug

Made the calculator compatible with floating(decimal)numbers

* Added better input validation
