    ldtoa: fix dropping too many digits from output
    
    ldtoa cuts the number of digits it returns based on a computation of
    number of supported bits (144) divide by log10(2).  Not only is the
    integer approximation of log10(2) ~= 8/27 missing a digit here, it
    also fails to take really small double and long double values into
    account.
    
    Allow for the full potential precision of long double values.  At the
    same time, change the local string array allocation to request only as
    much bytes as necessary to support the caller-requested number of
    digits, to keep the stack size low on small targets.
    
    In the long run a better fix would be to switch to gdtoa, as the BSD
    variants, as well as Mingw64 do.
